Abstract
|
|
|
We evaluated the effects of the stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the palmar hyperhidrosis. Ten patients of the palmar hyperhidrosis were taken right and left SGBs, 15 times on each side, total of 30 times, with 1% mepivacaine HCl 5 ml, with no
discrimination on sex and age. Although there was a little decrease in the frequency of perspirations on 2 patients after the 15th block, no difference was noted after the overall 30th block at them. None of all 10 patients was satisfied
symptomatically
and no evidence of decreasing perspiration was found.
Conclusively it seems that SGB with 1% mepivacaine HCl 5 ml is not an adequate therapy on the palmar hyperhidrosis even though it diminishes perspiration transiently.
