Is Sympathetic Therapy an Investigational / Experimental Procedure?
Sympathetic Therapy is not investigational nor experimental. It is cleared by the FDA for providing symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain and /or management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain. Years of clinical use and two recent clinical studies show that patients are getting results from this therapy, including many patients who have responded to no other pain intervention. However, knowledge about Sympathetic Therapy, particularly in the insurance industry, is somewhat limited, and may result in the perception that this “new” therapy is “investigational” when it is not.
