Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I in Upper Extremity—Evaluation of Continuous Stellate Ganglion Block and Continuous Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block: A Pilot Study

Abstract: This preliminary study suggests that CIBP block and CSG block may be feasible and effective interventional techniques for the management of CRPS type I of upper extremities. Hence, we recommend a larger well-randomized, well-controlled, clinical trial to confirm our findings and determine if any significant difference exists between the groups in terms of long-term pain relief and functional restoration.

“…Invasive and expensive palliative interventions-intravenous infusions (e.g., ketamine), nerve block, sympathetic block, spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, implantable spinal medication pumps, chemical and surgical sympathectomy [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] -are often used, contributing to the high cost of treating CRPS and resulting in an enormous economic burden. Also, clinical studies have failed in various patient subtypes to demonstrate the efficacy of many of these interventions and have reported unpredictable outcomes.…”

“…The timing of assessment also was quite variable, ranging from right after the blocking procedure [43] to 3 months post treatment [47]. Some studies (n = 6) used control blocks with active drugs such as guanethidine [7], lidocaine with clonidine [37], phentolamine [45,56], or continuous infraclavicular brachial plexus block [52]. In one study, physical therapy was added to the baseline treatment [47].…”

“…These studies have marked methodological heterogeneity. For instance, only one clearly described the randomization process [52] and only 2 were double-blinded [3,43]. In 5 studies, the blinding procedure was unclear [7,37,45,52,56], and one was not blinded at all [47].…”

“…[1][2][3] Kolay yapılabilir olması, olası komplikasyon gelişimini azaltması, yeterli blok için daha az lokal anestezik ihtiyacı olması gibi nedenlerle son yıllarda sinir bloklarının USG eşliğinde yapılması yaygınlık kazanmıştır. Karşılaştığımız unilateral çift axiller ven varyasyonunu tanımlamak ve intravaskuler girişim açısından daha yüksek risk altında olan bu hastalarda komplikasyon ihtimalini azaltmak için sinir blokajı için USG kullanımının önemini vurgulamak istedik.…”
