Sumario:A 39-year-old female was suffering from cold-induced Raynaud's attacks in both hands and feet, with symptoms being most severe in her left foot. The patient did not respond to medical treatments and was referred to our department of pain medicine. We performed sequential bipolar radiofrequency lumbar sympathectomy to the patient, which offered a long duration of symptom relief. Sequential bipolar radiofrequency lesions could create continuous strip lesion, and thus, could achieve better results, while the potential risk of liquid neurolytic agents could be avoided.
