Bilateral Dual Level Cervical Sympathetic Blocks to Treat Post‐TBI Sequelae: A Case Report

This study reports the clinical response and potential mechanisms of bilateral dual cervical sympathetic blocks, commonly referred to as stellate ganglion blocks (SGBs), in treating long-term symptoms following a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). While previous research has shown that SGB can alleviate symptoms in patients with both TBI and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), its utility for isolated post-TBI symptoms without concurrent PTSD remains unclear. In this case, a patient suffering from persistent symptoms for over a year following a mild TBI was successfully treated, suggesting that SGB may offer a viable and minimally invasive treatment option for individuals experiencing chronic post-TBI symptoms, even in the absence of PTSD.
