Filter by:Post-operative new-onset atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most common arrhythmias in adults after direct intracardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The incidence of POAF in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is approximately 30%. POAF can lead to an increased risk of complications such as stroke, heart failure, and acute kidney injury, which not only prolongs the patient's hospital stay, but also increases hospital costs and mortality. operation, extracorporeal circulation, and the patient's underlying conditions (such as age, gender, hypertension, and diabetes), which cause sympathetic activation, inflammatory response, and myocardial ischemia in the organism. The stellate ganglion block (SGB) regulates the sympathetic tone of the innervated nerves and thus the autonomic function of the body. SGB can effectively regulate the sympathetic-parasympathetic imbalance. Also, SGB may exert some anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, ultrasound-guided SGB was used in CABG patients to investigate its effect on the occurrence of POAF.
Patients will be divided into 2 groups, 30 each. Group A will receive sphenopalatine ganglion block via a gauze soaked in local anesthetic introduced in the 2 nostrils then by local anesthetic injected by a cannula into both nostrils. Group B will undergo the same procedure, but normal saline will be used instead of the local anesthetic.
- Group A: SGB with alcohol injection by ultrasound guidance and C7 level confirmation by fluoroscopy. - Group B: Thermal RF; thermal RF neurolysis will be applied with a time of 60 seconds at 80º C, and then will be repeated twice . Stellate ganglion RF therapy will be done under fluoroscopy, integrated by ultrasound guidance
Arrhythmic storm is a real emergency and its treatment could be challenging. Antiarrhythmic drugs are few and often ineffective. Neuromodulation has been grown in evidences but no large multicentric studies are present in literature about safety and effectiveness of Percutaneous Stellate Ganglion Block (PSGB). Patients with an electrical storm refractory to at least one antiarrhythmic drug will receive PSGB and will be enrolled in the present study. The number of defibrillations before and after the treatment will be compared, complications will be annotated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the administration and dosage of bupivacaine for sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) nerve block. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does a high dose (3ml) give more relief than a low dose (1ml)? - Does bilateral administration give more relief than unilateral? Participants with headaches will be asked to lie down and have SPG block performed. Researchers will compare dosage and administration to see how symptoms are reduced.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in participants with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does SGB treatment improve symptoms of ME/CFS (e.g. brain fog, fatigue)? Do changes in symptoms go along with changes in blood or saliva? Participants will receive a total of six blocks over three weeks (one block on each side, one day apart, per week). Prior to treatment and at two points following treatment, participants will complete surveys, take a cognitive (puzzle type) test, and provide blood and saliva for analysis. Participants will measure their heart rate daily using a free smart phone app.
The incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery is high, which increases postoperative mortality and is not conducive to the prognosis of patients. Stellate ganglion blocks increase renal blood flow, reduce inflammation and stress, and protect the heart muscle. In this study, stellate ganglion block was used to promote rapid recovery of kidney function after cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery.
To investigate feasibility of basal-ganglia regions as fMRI-neurofeedback targets in Parkinson's patients and evaluate self-regulation success
Sudden deafness is a sudden, unexplained sensorineural hearing loss of ≥20 dBHL in at least two adjacent frequencies within 72 h. It may be accompanied by tinnitus, a sense of ear congestion, vertigo and other Symptoms.Stellate ganglion block increases the blood flow and blood velocity in the inner ear, keeping the body's vegetative, endocrine and immune functions normal.The branches of the facial and linguopharyngeal nerves are connected to the inner ear, and local injection can nourish the nerves and improve local circulation.
The core hypothesis to be tested is that the radiosurgery of stellate ganglion (left one or both if left-sided without full relief of symptoms) is an effective therapy of refractory angina pectoris in patients with no other therapeutic options - proof of concept study.
