Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   After getting consent, 30 patients of upper extremity Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome attending to a OPD of Pain Management Department of an urban Hospital will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group A will receive Stellate ganglion block with local anaesthetic only.The other group Group B will  receive Stellate ganglion block with local anaesthetic and steroid. The pain score in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) will be measured before intervention and 1, 4 & 6 weeks after the intervention from each patient and the pain reduction will be compared between two groups using appropriate statistical test.
