Abstract

Fifteen patients had lumbar sympathetic block using needle localisation by computerised tomography. The technique has the advantage that the needle route to the sympathetic plexus can be accurately planned, avoiding damage to other organs. In this study, 13 patients out of 15 had significant benefit from the procedure.
