About this trial
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between hematological inflammatory indices and clinical treatment response in patients with neuropathic pain undergoing sympathetic nerve block procedures as part of routine clinical care. Hematological parameters including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), and red cell distribution width (RDW) will be evaluated before and after treatment. The association between changes in these indices and pain outcomes will be analyzed.
