Abstract
- We evaluated the effects of the stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the palmar hyperhidrosis. Ten patients of the palmar hyperhidrosis were taken right and left SGBs, l5 times on each side, total of 30 times, with 1/ mepivacaine HC1 5 ml, with no discrimination on sex and age. Although there was a little decrease in the frequency of perspirations on 2 patients after the 15th block, no difference was noted after the overall 30th block at them. None of all 10 patients was satisfied symptomatically and no evidence of decreasing perspiration was found. Conclusively it seems that SGB with l% mepivacaine HC1 5 ml is not an adequate therapy on the palmar hyperhidrosis even though it diminishes perspiration transiently.
