The treatment of hand surgery patients suffering from chronic pain requires an interdisciplinary procedure. An imbalance between nociception and antinociception can be seen as a reason for the chronification of pain. The complexity of the problem of chronic pain patients is marked by a wide variety of symptoms. Full diagnostic assessment to detect or to exclude other organic diseases is required. Rehabilitation to improve function and reduce pain intensity has priority. Our therapeutic strategy consists of intensive physiotherapy and analgesic drugs as well as a series of blockades with buprenorphine (Temgesic) of the ganglion stellatum (GLOA). This specific therapy achieved an improvement of the function of the upper extremity and a reduction of pain intensity. The majority of patients were satisfied with the outcome.
