Sympathetic Nerve Blocks in Hyderabad


Advanced Pain Relief for Complex Nerve and Organ-Related Pain

Certain types of chronic pain originate from the sympathetic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions. At Germanten Hospital, Hyderabad, we offer Sympathetic Nerve Blocks to effectively manage conditions like nerve pain, pelvic pain, and vascular pain using image-guided, minimally invasive techniques.

Sympathetic blocks involve injecting a local anesthetic (and sometimes other agents) near a cluster of sympathetic nerves to interrupt abnormal pain signals. These may include:

  • Stellate Ganglion Block (neck and upper chest pain)
  • Celiac Plexus Block (abdominal pain)
  • Splanchnic Nerve Block (upper abdominal organ pain)
  • Superior Hypogastric Plexus Block (pelvic pain)
  • Ganglion Impar Block (perineal and tailbone pain)
  • Lumbar and Thoracic Sympathectomy (T2, T3) – RF or chemical

These procedures are usually performed under fluoroscopic or CT guidance for safety and precision.

  • Chronic abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Pain from pancreatic or liver cancers
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
  • Vascular pain (Raynaud’s Syndrome, ischemic pain)
  • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
  • Targeted relief from deep, organ-related or neuropathic pain
  • Reduces dependence on opioids and long-term medications
  • Performed under local anesthesia
  • Minimal recovery time
  • Can be repeated safely if required

Pre-Procedure:

Evaluation includes physical examination, imaging studies, and diagnosis of the specific pain origin.

During the Procedure:

A local anesthetic is injected near the sympathetic nerves using real-time imaging. The procedure takes 20–30 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.

Post-Procedure:

Patients are monitored for a short period and typically discharged the same day. Pain relief may be immediate or occur gradually over a few days.
