Results

Evation in temperature: by over 1 (sympathetic block, n = 62) and by less than 1 (non-sympathetic block, n = 27). Finger blood flow decreased significantly just after a change in posture after SGB in both groups. In the sympathetic block group, the ratio of finger blood flow in the long sitting position / supine position with a change in posture significantly increased after SGB compared with before SGB (before SGB: range 0.09-0.94, median 0.53, after SGB: range 0.33-1.2, median 0.89, p < 0.0001).

Baseline Characteristics

Nine patients, 5 males and 4 females, aged 44-80 years (mean age 62.3 years, standard deviation 13.3), required treatment by stellate ganglion block. The diagnoses were herpes zoster pain in seven of the patients, tinnitus in one patient, and upper limb pain in one patient. The patients had no history of orthostatic intolerance, such as orthostatic hypotension and related diseases affecting the sympathetic nervous system, or disordered circulation in the upper limb, and were not on prescription vasoactive, cardiac or sweating related medication.

none

Outcome measures

1. Horner sign. After SGB, we checked for the presence of myosis, ptosis and enophthalmos. This was assessed to identify successful block of the cervical sympathetic trunk.
2. Presence of brachial nerve block, to exclude sympathetic block in the upper limb due to inadvertent brachial plexus block. In patients in whom it did occur, a significant increase in blood flow to the fingers of the blocked hand was observed throughout the period of brachial plexus anesthesia.4 We checked the presence of brachial nerve block or not.
3. Skin temperature of the thumb on the blocked side by thermography before SGB and 20 min after SGB. An indicator of sympathetic block in the upper limb is elevated skin temperature of over 1 relative to before SGB.
4. Blood flow in the ball of the thumb on the SGB side. This was measured using a laser blood flow meter (Laser Doppler ALF 21D, ADMEDIC Co. Ltd., Japan) in the supine position and immediately after changing to the long sitting position (the lowest finger blood flow), before SGB and 20 min after SGB.
