Efficacy and exploratory analysis of potential mechanisms of stellate ganglion block in alleviating sleep disturbance in generalized anxiety disorder: a randomized controlled trial excluding comorbid depression
SGB effectively improves GAD symptoms and sleep quality in patients without comorbid depression, potentially via modulation of NE, 5-HT, and NPY pathways. The exclusion of psychiatric comorbidities enhances the specificity of these findings.
