Only 14% of people who get the stellate ganglion block have lasting relief. The other 86% aren't unlucky. They just weren't told what was still driving the problem.
If you got the SGB, felt better for a few weeks, and then watched the symptoms come back, you are not alone. The block did what it was supposed to do. What it cannot do is remove whatever put your nervous system in overdrive in the first place. In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD breaks down what the research actually shows, why the root causes keep driving symptoms after the block fades, and what it takes for the relief to last.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the stellate ganglion block relieves symptoms for a while but doesn't fix what started the problem
How the Toxic 5 keep your nervous system locked in fight-or-flight even after the block fades
What a real case shows: two SGB blocks, mold in sinuses, Epstein-Barr reactivation, and the treatment that finally worked
Why getting even a week of relief from SGB is a good sign for your recovery
How to use SGB as one part of a plan, not a standalone fix
