Abstract
Complex regional pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition characterized by regional pain without a dermatomal distribution. The primary goal of treatment is to alleviate pain and restore function in the affected limb. Multimodal therapeutic methods are adopted, including stellate ganglion block, with favorable outcomes such as pain score reduction and increased mobility in affected patients. This case presentation aims to describe the importance of early stellate ganglion block in the management of CRPS.
