What Are The Results Of Using Guinethadine For Pain Syndrome?
30 years ago my right arm was injured by having a canopy door (for a pickup truck) collapse on a previous scar - which had completely healed for more than 15 years. 5 months after the accident, I was diagnosed with a condition called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (now called chronic regional pain syndrome). I m looking for published papers on the use of a drug called guinethadine, as I m going to college now and want to write a paper comparing the results between the use of electric shock (WWI - Yelland) and guinethadine. Can you help me?

Hi,
Guanethidine is an anti-hypertensive drug that was used also for nerve blocks in patients with complex regional pain syndrome.
Small studies have shown that nerve blocks with Guanethidine appear to be harmful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
