Ultrasound-Guided Stellate Ganglion Block with Cervicotemporal Myofascial Trigger Point Acupuncture for Insomnia with Comorbid Anxiety and Depression: A Retrospective Observational Study
The preliminary study suggests that ultrasound-guided SGB combined with acupuncture at the cervicotemporal MTrPs is an effective, comprehensive intervention for insomnia with comorbid anxiety and depression. The benefits may result from synergistic mechanisms involving autonomic balance regulation, suppression of excessive sympathetic activity, reduction of myofascial tension, and modulation of the sleep-wake cycle. These findings warrant further clinical application and investigation.
