[Tissue damage following paravenous cytostatic drug application. An additional treatment with percutaneous electric nerve stimulation].
Some aspects in the development of severe tissue damage after an adriamycin extravasation are considered as a sympathetic reflex dystrophy syndrome. In this, a peripheral stimulus (e.g. pain) activates efferent autonomic and motor nerves resulting in vasomotor changes and other "dystrophic" changes in soft tissues. A typical state is the Sudeck's dystrophy syndrome. With a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation it should be possible to interrupt this vicious circle. A case with a good clinical result is reported.
