Cancer and sympathetic dependent pain

M.D. Churcher

Pain Relief Unit, Derriford Hospital, Plymouth

For over a century there have been clinical clues to a relationship between pain and the sympathetic nervous system. Diagnosis of a sympathetic dependent pain (SDP) depends on pain characteristics, altered sensation and relief by sympathetic block. SDP is often accompanied by signs of sympathetic overactivity, and is most commonly seen in the lower limbs. Chemical sympathectomy is the treatment of choice.

Key Words: autonomic nerve block • chemical sympathectomy • neoplasms • pain • palliative treatment • sympathetic nervous system
