Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)

A Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) is a medical procedure that involves injecting a local anesthetic near a group of nerve cells called the stellate ganglion, located in the neck. This procedure is often used to relieve pain, improve circulation, or treat conditions like complex regional pain syndrome and PTSD. By blocking the signals in these nerves, SGB can help reduce symptoms such as pain and anxiety. It’s typically done as an outpatient procedure, with minimal recovery time, and can provide significant relief for some patients.
