简要总结

RATIONALE: A stellate ganglion nerve block may help relieve hot flashes in women.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a stellate ganglion nerve block works in treating women with hot flashes.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the impact of stellate ganglion blockade on hot flash scores.
  • To evaluate the toxicity of stellate ganglion blockade.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo fluoroscopic-guided stellate ganglion blockade using bupivacaine hydrochloride in week 1.

Patients complete a hot flash diary daily and a symptom experience diary weekly in weeks 1-7 and the Profile of Mood States questionnaire in weeks 1 and 7.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 2 months and then monthly for 1 year.
