Sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation: Clinical applications and innovative development

蝶腭神经节 (SPG) 作为一个重要的副交感神经节, 位于上颌神经下方, 其解剖结构和功能在脑血管,自主神经调节及多种头痛疾病中起到关键作用.近年来, 蝶腭神经节刺激 (SPGS) 技术通过侵入性与针灸介导的方法在临床广泛应用.本文概述了SPGS技术在头痛,中风以及鼻炎等疾病治疗中的临床应用现状, 并探讨了创新型技术如超声引导和电极针灸针对疗效的提升作用与在神经调控领域的发展潜力. The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is a critical parasympathetic ganglion located beneath the maxillary nerves. Its anatomical structure and function play key roles in the regulation of cerebral blood vessels, the autonomic nervous system, and various headache-related disorders. In recent years, SPG stimulation (SPGS) has been widely applieded in both invasive and acupuncture-mediated clinical practice. This paper outlines the current clinical applications of SPGS in treating conditions such as headaches, strokes, and rhinitis, and explores how innovative technologies, including ultrasound-guided techniques and electrode acupuncture needles, may enhance therapeutic efficacy. The potential future development of SPGS in the field of neuromodulation is also discussed.
