Background: For patients who experience atypical neurogenic pain thought to be complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after Dupuytren's fasciectomy early recognition has been reported to improve outcomes. Furthermore, given the progressive nature of Dupuytren's, individuals with a history of CRPS have been "at risk" for further surgical intervention.
Purpose: To familiarize therapists with a Budapest criteria (BC) checklist for early diagnosis of CRPS, describe how tracking sudomotor/vasomotor signs alongside differences in skin temperature were used to monitor vasomotor instability and intervention effectiveness for a patient with atypical pain after fasciectomy and to detail management of the same patient with a CRPS history who had collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection of her other hand without exacerbating CRPS.

Background: Data on the predictors of percutaneous stellate ganglion block (PSGB) efficacy in electrical storm are scanty.
Objective: We aimed to assess whether PSGB efficacy is influenced by the arrhythmia type and cycle length before the procedure.
Methods: This is a subanalysis of the multicenter STAR study.

Background: Horner's syndrome is a rare complication of cardiovascular surgery. A bone fragment and hematoma due to rib fracture after cardiac surgery may cause injury to the brachial nerve plexus and sympathetic nerve trunk, leading to neurologic disorders and Horner's syndrome. However, few reports have revealed the etiology of Horner's syndrome after cardiovascular surgery based on imaging.

Division of Cardiology, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Tsuzuki, Yokohama, Japan.
Unlabelled: We encountered a case of coronary angina refractory to multiple medications, including a calcium channel blocker, nitroglycerin, fasudil (a Rho kinase inhibitor), left stellate ganglion block, thoracic sympathetic ganglion blockade, steroids, and denopamine. During the course of treatment, ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurred due to ST-segment elevation, and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted; however, the patient had recurrent VT. A 12‑lead electrocardiogram showed ST elevation localized to leads II, III, and a Vf, and stenting was performed in all main trunks of the right coronary artery.
