Sympathetic Nervous System

What is Sympathectomy?

Sympathectomy involves disrupting sympathetic nerves responsible for chronic pain in conditions like CRPS, phantom limb pain, and vascular disorders. By interrupting these nerve pathways, significant and long-term pain relief can be achieved.

A Sympathectomy Block is performed using a local anesthetic to temporarily block the sympathetic nerves, helping diagnose whether these nerves are the source of pain.

Medical Imaging

Indications & Sympathectomy Block Procedure

Indications:

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Chronic pain in arms or legs

Procedure Steps:

  • Pre-procedure evaluation & history
  • Sterilization and local anesthesia
  • Ultrasound or Fluoroscopy-guided needle placement
  • Injection of anesthetic to block sympathetic nerves
  • Brief monitoring before discharge

Neurolysis & Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Neurolysis & RFA interrupt pain pathways by chemically or thermally targeting problematic nerves

1

Evaluation

Detailed assessment determines whether Neurolysis or RFA is suitable for your condition.

2

Preparation & Sedation

Local anesthesia and sedation ensure comfort during the procedure.

3

Needle Guidance

Imaging guidance ensures precise placement of the needle.

4

Neurolysis / Ablation

Chemical agents or RF heat are applied to disrupt nerve function and reduce pain signals.

5

Recovery

Patients are monitored briefly and discharged with aftercare instructions.
