This article presents the findings of a study on the outcomes of thoracic sympathetic ganglion blocks (TSGB) in 207 chronic pain patients. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the technical success of TSGB and pain reduction, as well as identify clinical factors relevant to a positive outcome. The results showed that 55.5% of patients reported pain reduction and 67.1% achieved temperature rises after TSGB. However, there was no significant relationship between pain reduction and temperature increase. Factors such as comorbid diabetes and adjuvant intake were positively associated with TSGB outcome, while psychiatric comorbidity and pain duration were negatively associated. The study suggests that further research is needed to identify significant factors associated with TSGB outcomes in patients with complex regional pain syndrome and neuropathic pain diseases.
