The guidelines developed by the New York State Workers Compensation Board aim to assist physicians, podiatrists, and other healthcare professionals in delivering appropriate treatment for Open Sympathectomy, including by external radiation for sympathetic blockade, in cases involving Complex Regional Pain within the context of workers’ compensation.

These guidelines serve as a valuable resource to support healthcare professionals in making informed decisions about the optimal level of care. However, it is important to emphasize that these guidelines do not replace the critical role of clinical judgment and professional expertise. The ultimate decision regarding care should be a collaborative one between the patient and their healthcare provider.
