Raynaud's Disease Case Study?

We Answered:

Nerves called sympathetic nerves in your hands and feet control the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in your skin. Sometimes it's necessary in cases of severe Raynaud's to cut these nerves to interrupt their exaggerated response. Through small incisions in the affected hands or feet, a doctor strips away these tiny nerves around the blood vessels. The surgery, called sympathectomy, may reduce the frequency and duration of attacks, but it's not always successful.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/raynaud…

HYPERHIDROSIS - may result from an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This is an unlikely consequence of surgery since the procedure removes some sympathetic nerves.
