Abstract

Introduction: Stellate ganglion block (SGB) provides diagnostic and therapeutic benefits in pain syndromes in the head, neck, and upper extremity, including complex regional pain syndrome Types I and II, Raynaud's disease, hyperhidrosis, arterial embolism in the region of the arm.

Methods: We present a novel ultrasound-guided supraclavicular stellate ganglion block. Considering the existing anatomical structures of the targeted area.

Results and conclusions: We hope that we can provide fewer complications and additional benefits with this new approach.

Keywords: sympathetic chain; sympathetic ganglia.
