Overview
Surgical, chemical, or radiofrequency sympathectomy can be used as a last resort in patients with impending tissue loss, edema, recurrent infection, or ischemic necrosis due to complications from complex regional pain syndrome.
Surgery
Surgical, chemical, or radiofrequency sympathectomy — interruption of the affected portion of the sympathetic nervous system — can be used as a last resort in patients with impending tissue loss, edema, recurrent infection, or ischemic necrosis.[1] However, there is little evidence that these permanent interventions alter the pain symptoms of the affected patients.
