Understanding Sympathetic-Nerve Blocks
Sympathetic-Nerve Blocks are a proven and effective procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions associated with the sympathetic nervous system. This minimally invasive technique involves the injection of local anesthetic and sometimes steroids to block or interrupt the pain signals transmitted through the sympathetic nerves. By blocking these nerve signals, Sympathetic-Nerve Blocks can offer significant pain relief and improve overall functionality.
Conditions Treated
Sympathetic-Nerve Blocks are commonly used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Post-herpetic neuralgia
- Trigeminal neuralgia
