Once upon a time, there was a little-known therapy called Stellate Ganglion Blocks, otherwise known as SGB. Over the years, this treatment, while admittedly not well-known, proved remarkably effective for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), panic attacks, anxiety, stress-related disorders, insomnia, postpartum depression, among other conditions. However, it remained a mystery to most people (including clinicians). Today, the story is changing …

Without much published information about SGB or guidance for clinicians to integrate it into their current, better-known treatments, many have avoided it completely. As a result, many people are unfamiliar with SGB. But a recent study published in BMJ Journals is changing that.
