UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE
What is SGB?
A stellate ganglion block is an image-guided injection near a group of nerves in the neck involved in the sympathetic nervous system.
It has long been used for certain pain conditions and is being studied for other symptoms and disorders. Evidence and appropriateness vary by condition; consultation does not guarantee treatment or outcome.
Consult
Review relevant history, goals, prior care, and potential safety considerations with a qualified clinician.
Decide
If appropriate, make a shared and informed decision about whether SGB belongs in the care plan.
