Résumé
This was a retrospective, observational, descriptive study to evaluate the safety and 6-month effectiveness of percutaneous cryoablation of the stellate ganglion for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Eight patients with CRPS diagnosed by Budapest criteria were treated with this procedure. CRPS symptom severity was assessed prior to the procedure and at 3-month intervals after the procedure using a novel CRPS scoring system-the Budapest score-created by the authors. The mean Budapest score prior to and 6 months (187 days, SD ± 43) after stellate ganglion cryoablation was 7.0 (SD ± 2.0) (n = 6) and 3.8 (SD ± 2.3) (n = 6), respectively, showing a decrease of 3.2 (SD ± 1.7) (n = 6; P = .006). There were no major adverse events due to the procedure, and there was only 1 minor adverse event. Stellate ganglion cryoablation is a feasible, safe, and minimally invasive procedure that may represent an efficacious adjunct treatment option for select patients with CRPS.
