Abstract

In a group of eight cardiac patients suffering from attacks of severe precordial pain, who were treated by paravertebral alcohol injections of the dorsal root ganglia, prompt and satisfactory relief from pain was secured in every instance. The freedom from pain following a single injection has usually lasted several months. In one patient, who was reinjected after four months of relief, there has been a second period of comfort lasting several months. No complications were encountered and no serious after-effects were seen. The procedure is simple and is based upon definite neurophysiological facts.
