Analysis of Photoplethysmographic Signal in Lumbar Sympathetic Block (park001)

June 4, 2010 updated by: Seoul National University Hospital

An Analysis of Photoplethysmographic Signal in Diagnostic Lumbar Sympathetic Block for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
1 minute at intervals from baseline through end of procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

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