Evaluation of the efficacy of the lumbar sympathetic ganglion block and the use of perfusion index as a predictor of its technical success: a prospective observational study

Although the number of LSGB responders declined over 4 weeks, overall pain levels significantly decreased. The PI may serve as a quick and reliable indicator of technical success, but it does not correlate with post-procedure pain relief.

Abstract

Although the number of LSGB responders declined over 4 weeks, overall pain levels significantly decreased. The PI may serve as a quick and reliable indicator of technical success, but it does not correlate with post-procedure pain relief.
