[Regional intravenous guanethidine for sympathetic block in algodystrophic syndromes (author's transl)]. 1981

J M Farcot, and P Mangin, and B Laugner, and J B Thiebaut, and G Foucher

The authors report their experience with 35 guanethidine intravenous local injections in algodystrophic and neurotrophic syndromes. Although excellent results are obtained in post-traumatic algodystrophies which are treated early, they are less remarkable in long standing sequelae due to injuries of the nervous system, and where, at best, only an antalgic effect can be expected.

D012019 Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy A syndrome characterized by severe burning pain in an extremity accompanied by sudomotor, vasomotor, and trophic changes in bone without an associated specific nerve injury. This condition is most often precipitated by trauma to soft tissue or nerve complexes. The skin over the affected region is usually erythematous and demonstrates hypersensitivity to tactile stimuli and erythema.

D006145 Guanethidine An antihypertensive agent that acts by inhibiting selectively transmission in post-ganglionic adrenergic nerves. It is believed to act mainly by preventing the release of norepinephrine at nerve endings and causes depletion of norepinephrine in peripheral sympathetic nerve terminals as well as in tissues.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
