Continuous Lumbar Sympathetic Blockade Enhances the Effect of Lumbar Sympatholysis on Refractory Diabetic Neuropathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ConclusionCombined treatment with continuous lumbar sympathetic block followed by neurolysis with alcohol provided more benefit in all assessed outcomes than sympathetic alcohol neurolysis alone. The results show that the procedures were associated with satisfactory safety outcomes and sustained analgesic effects, thereby providing clinical evidence supporting the use of this novel treatment for patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
