Based on my knowledge, several studies have suggested a preventive role for chemical sympathectomy for example in unilateral testicular damage induced deleterious effects in contralateral testis, while systemic effects of chemical sympathectomy has not recorded in these reports.
Dear Ali Shalizar
In the literature review I found chemical sympathectomy was not employed as a preventive but therapeutic, with most research being experimental.
By definition :
Chemical sympathectomy,
Its removal of a sympathetic nerve tract or ganglion by injection of a corrosive chemical such as phenol.
Below some references.I hope they help you
