Abstract
Sympathetic blocks are used for the treatment of pain when signs and symptoms of sympathetically maintained pain are present. Additional or alternative treatments are necessary for the care of many patients with complex regional pain syndromes. Celiac plexus blocks are used for the treatment of pain associated with pancreatic cancer and celiac blocks have been shown to have positive results in multiple randomized trials.
