Stellate Ganglion Block

Stellate Ganglion Block

Sympathetic pain, such as that caused by complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or certain nerve conditions, can be debilitating and greatly affect your quality of life. If you're experiencing chronic pain related to sympathetic nerve activity, there's a specialized procedure that may provide the relief you seek. 

Pain Interventions, a trusted pain management office in Rochester, NY, offers Stellate Ganglion Blocks as an effective treatment option. Read on to learn more about this procedure and how Pain Interventions can help you find lasting relief from sympathetic pain.

What is a Stellate Ganglion Block? A Stellate Ganglion Block is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a local anesthetic medication into the stellate ganglion, a collection of nerves located at the base of the neck. This injection targets the sympathetic nerves that contribute to pain, reducing sympathetic nerve activity and providing relief.

How Can a Stellate Ganglion Block Help You?

A Stellate Ganglion Block can provide effective pain relief for various conditions, including:

  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS): This condition causes intense and prolonged pain, typically in the arms, hands, legs, or feet. A Stellate Ganglion Block can help manage the pain associated with CRPS.
  • Sympathetic-mediated pain: Conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia, sympathetically maintained pain, or vascular pain disorders can be effectively managed with the help of a Stellate Ganglion Block.
  • Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating): Stellate Ganglion Blocks can help reduce excessive sweating in the face, neck, or upper extremities.
  • Vascular insufficiency: Individuals with poor blood circulation due to conditions like Raynaud's disease or frostbite may find relief with a Stellate Ganglion Block.
