Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEfficacy of stellate ganglion block: a clinical study with bupivacaine.
When administering stellate ganglion blocks (e.g., to pain patients), it may be essential to know whether the sympathetic block is complete. The aim of the present study was to study the efficacy of stellate ganglion blocks using different concentrations and volumes of local anesthetic and different sites of injection. ⋯ It was difficult to achieve a block that met all five established criteria. When assessing the efficacy of a stellate ganglion block, it is essential to evaluate the effects on vasoconstrictor and sudomotor fibers.
