星状神经节治疗焦虑的有效性及机制
Few emotions are as prevalent in modern society as anxiety. It can manifest in various forms, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social phobia, panic disorder, or specific phobias. Traditional treatment approaches often include medication and therapy; however, an emerging alternative method is gaining attention – stellate ganglion block (SGB). SGB involves injecting a local anesthetic into the stellate ganglion in the neck region to alleviate symptoms of anxiety. This article explores the effectiveness of SGB in treating anxiety and discusses its underlying mechanisms.

临床研究结果与安全性考量
A number of clinical studies have investigated the effectiveness of SGB in treating anxiety disorders. Results consistently demonstrate significant reductions in anxiety symptoms following the procedure. For instance, a recent study on patients with GAD found that 71% experienced at least a 50% decrease in symptom severity after receiving an SGB injection. Moreover, SGB has demonstrated good safety profiles with few adverse effects reported. Common side effects include temporary hoarseness or Horner's syndrome, which typically resolve within days or weeks without requiring intervention.
