Stellate Ganglion Block
A stellate ganglion block is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the stellate ganglion—a collection of nerves located in the neck that is part of the sympathetic nervous system. By injecting medication near these nerves, the block can alleviate pain and other symptoms in the head, neck, upper chest, and arms, and treat certain sympathetic nervous system disorders.
A chronic pain condition affecting the arms or legs.
Refractory Angina
Severe chest pain that does not respond to standard treatments.
Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Pain associated with shingles, particularly affecting the face and upper body.
Vascular Insufficiency

Emerging use in the treatment of PTSD symptoms.
Raynaud’s Phenomenon
A condition causing some areas of the body to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress.
Hot Flashes
Severe menopausal symptoms.
Patients who have not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, oral medications, or lifestyle changes may benefit from a stellate ganglion block. It is particularly useful for those with chronic pain and sympathetic disorders affecting their quality of life.
Stellate ganglion blocks offer a targeted and effective approach to managing chronic pain and sympathetic nervous system disorders in the upper body. By blocking pain signals and improving blood flow, this procedure can significantly enhance quality of life and functionality. For personalized care and to determine if a stellate ganglion block is right for you, consult the specialists at ALGOS.
