Dilute lidocaine ankle blocks in the diagnosis of sympathetically maintained pain

CK Harvey
Department of Podiatric Medicine, California College of Podiatric Medicine, San Francisco 94115, USA.

The author has developed a technique of dilute anesthetic ankle block that appears, on the basis of these preliminary observations, to relieve pathologic pain that may be maintained by the sympathetic nervous system. Symptomatic relief following the use of this injection confirms that the patient's problem is not somatic and that further evaluation and treatment of sympathetically maintained pain syndrome may be indicated.
