Eligibility for the SGB
If you are interested in receiving the SGB injection, it is required that you fill out our Questionnaires. We will be in contact with you to let you know if our doctors believe you are an eligible candidate. Then, we will schedule your appointment for the SGB procedure whenever it is most convenient for you.
The SGB Procedure
Local anesthesia is first injected to numb the neck area. The location of the stellate ganglion is then identified under fluoroscopic guidance. A single needle is then placed just above the collar of the C6 bone and the active medication is injected next to the stellate ganglion.
The Patient is Released
Patients typically experience a significant decrease in their PTSD symptoms within 30 minutes of the procedure. If you do not feel the effects immediately, you will be offered a second injection on site. We will contact you a few days after the injection to follow up with you on your improvement.
