The Stellate Ganglion Block is an outpatient procedure that uses a small injection of local anesthetic to target the stellate ganglion, a nerve cluster involved in the body’s fight-or-flight response. By calming this system, the treatment may help reduce symptoms connected to hyperarousal, which can include heightened stress, sleep disruption, intrusive memories, and persistent anxiety. The clinic notes that SGB is particularly suitable for individuals who have tried traditional therapies without experiencing adequate improvement.
“SGB offers patients another path when standard approaches haven’t provided enough relief,” said a clinic representative. “Many people living with PTSD or severe stress symptoms are searching for additional options, and this procedure gives them an opportunity to explore a different type of support.”
The procedure is performed by Dr. Eugene Lipov, a specialist known for his extensive work with SGB in trauma-related conditions. Each treatment is done under ultrasound guidance for precision, typically takes 10 to 30 minutes, and involves minimal downtime. Depending on the patient’s response, both sides of the neck may be treated within a short period, and sedation can be provided for comfort.
Growing interest in SGB has followed research evaluating its potential role in supporting trauma-related symptoms. A multi-center randomized study published in JAMA Psychiatry reported stronger outcomes for SGB compared to placebo, contributing to wider clinical acceptance. While responses differ from person to person, the clinic explains that the procedure may offer helpful symptom reduction for patients seeking additional treatment avenues.
For individuals with more complex needs, IV Solutions & Ketamine Centers of Chicago can coordinate plans that combine SGB with intravenous ketamine therapy, another treatment used to support patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic anxiety. All services are provided in a private, medically supervised setting staffed by anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and trained clinical personnel.
