Has there ever been a controlled trial done on the effects of sympathectomy?

in Australia? Overseas?

Isn't the procedure considered experimental if such study/trial has not been done?
Are medical companies allowed to introduce new drugs without such trials/studies? What would happen to a company that would do that?
Who is responsible if such thing occurs?

The answer according to the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons is: NO!
