Study Description

Brief Summary:

This study aims to compare the alternative current and the direct current signal changes of photoplethysmography between both feet during one side lumbar sympathetic block.

The hypothesis is that signal changes occur earlier than other indices to decide whether it is successful following lumbar sympathetic block on only one-side.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome	Procedure: lumbar sympathetic block	Phase 3

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: lumbar sympathetic block Unilateral lumbar sympathetic blockade using chirocaine	Procedure: lumbar sympathetic block unilateral lumbar sympathetic block at L3 level using 0.2% chirocaine under C-arm fluoroscopy Other Names: 0.25% bupivacaine (Chirocaine, Abbott, Elverum, Norway) C-arm (OEC 9800 plus, GE Medical Systems, Salt Lake City, UT) Chiba needle (Cook Inc., Bloomington, IN)
No Intervention: contralateral side

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

Index of sympathetic block [ Time Frame: 1 minute at intervals from baseline through end of procedure ]
change of slope of signals of the alternative current and the direct current from foot

The baseline is defined as the point of surgical drap.

The end of procedure is decided when the temperature of foot is increased more than 2 degrees from baseline within 20 minutes after local anesthetics injection

Secondary Outcome Measures :

skin temperature changes [ Time Frame: 1 minute at intervals during procedure ]
foot temperature change from baseline
electrocardiogram [ Time Frame: 1 minute at intervals from baseline through end of procedure ]
heart rate variability measurement
