How is the stellate ganglion block applied?

Stellate ganglion block is through the inhibition of sympathetic nerves, affecting the neurological-endocrine-immune network system, regulating self-stabilization, stimulating the body’s own immunity to get rid of the disease, like removing the external force added to the spring, so that the spring restored to the normal state. 1, spring theory spring in the absence of external forces will maintain its static state, known as the normal state. When it is subjected to outward and inward pressure, shape and function can produce corresponding retraction or elongation, when the removal of external forces, will return to the original state of rest, called the spring theory. 2, the body has the elasticity of a blood vessel is now regarded as a spring, blood vessels due to external forces (mental, nervous, body fluids), can be dilated or contracted (circumference), its dominant region will produce the corresponding pathological changes, such as cerebral blood vessels, whether dilated or contracted will produce migraine symptoms. At this time can be inhibited by sympathetic excitation (stellate ganglion block) to eliminate the external force added to the blood vessels, the cerebral blood vessels will be like a spring as naturally return to the normal state, the migraine disappeared. This shows that blood vessels are elastic. A blood vessel can be explained by the spring theory, an organ, a system and even an individual whether this phenomenon? The internal environment of the body, various physical and chemical indicators, body temperature have a constant value, which determines the normal state of the body. When the nerve fiber is stimulated, the concentration of potassium and sodium inside and outside the cell can change, and then rely on the sodium pump on the cell membrane to transfer the Na+ inside the membrane to the outside of the membrane, so that the K+ inward flow, so as to make the concentration of potassium and sodium inside the cell to reach equilibrium. Elevated arterial pressure may agitate the carotid sinus and aortic arch pressure receptors, vagal excitation, slowing of heart rate, inhibition of sympathetic nerves, arterial dilation, and a decrease in blood pressure. It has been found that the mechanism of visceral sensory hypersensitivity may involve central sensory integration function, autonomic functional status, and enteric nerve function. The central CABAB receptor agonist, baclofen, reduces the incidence of TLESRs and decreases reflux in patients with GERD. (In vivo) When the concentration of a substance changes, another substance will quickly make corresponding adjustments to maintain homeostasis in the body.ADM protects the body against elevated blood pressure, and elevated blood pressure ADM is correspondingly elevated, and with cardiac painkillers, the blood pressure decreases, and ADM also decreases. Another example is weight gain, leptin secretion increases, can cause a series of responses to obesity, such as reduced intake, increased energy release and sympathetic function; on the contrary, if the body is in a state of emaciation or starvation, leptin secretion decreases, causing increased intake, parasympathetic function increases, energy consumption decreases, the body temperature decreases, so that the fat volume is restored. When glucocorticoids are elevated, they can feedback to inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, thus causing a decrease in adrenocorticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH, which will keep the corticosteroid at a normal level. These all show that an organ, a system, an individual, its functional status is in the body itself under the regulation of enhancement or reduction, so as to counteract the role of pathological conditions to maintain the stability of the internal environment, to maintain a healthy state, therefore, can be considered that the body is elastic. 3, the body’s elasticity is self-stabilizing regulation Disease is the body in a certain cause of damage, due to the body’s self-stabilizing regulation disorders occurring in the process of life activities [1]. Self-stabilizing regulation is the body in order to maintain the stability of dynamic equilibrium and self-regulation. The resilience of the organism is its self-stabilizing regulation to overcome external forces. Self-stabilizing regulation system mainly refers to the neurological-endocrine-immune network system, and the essence of the disease is the disorder of the self-stabilizing regulation of this network. The organism is a unified whole, the physiological activities of various tissues and organs and their responses to the outside world are not isolated, and there exists a two-way information regulation mechanism between the immune system and the nervous and endocrine systems [2]. They are like a force occurring on the spring, mutual restraint, mutual dependence, and jointly maintain the stability of the organism. 4, stellate ganglion block In recent years, the research results of stellate ganglion block show that its action involves the vegetative nervous system, endocrine system and immune system, and it has a regulating effect on the above systems, which is manifested in two ways: central and peripheral. The central effect is to maintain the stability of the internal environment by regulating the hypothalamus, so that the body’s functions of the above systems remain normal, and the peripheral effect is the distribution of regional nerve fibers innervated by cardiovascular motility, glandular secretion, muscle tension, bronchial contraction, and nociceptive conduction is also inhibited [3]. Disease prevention and treatment is to overcome the body’s self-stabilizing regulatory disorders, thereby restoring the body to a stable state of dynamic equilibrium. Stellate ganglion block has been used to treat primary hypertension and hypotension, hypothermia and hypothermia, excessive sweating and lack of sweating, obesity and emaciation, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, somnolence and insomnia, so as to normalize the disordered organism. Li Zhonglian [3] tested 10 kinds of immune substances, including IgA, before and after stellate ganglion block, and found that after 10 times of block, the original low immune substances were restored to the normal level, and there was no significant change in those who were originally in the normal range. The authors used it to treat migraine and tested the intraocular pressure on the treated side, and found that the intraocular pressure was (3.5±0.9) kPa before the block and then decreased to (2.1±1.0) kPa, with a mean decrease of 43.57%, which was similar to that with hypertonic agents (44.20% for Gan and 45.10% for Mannitol) [4]. Using its treatment of ankylosing muscular dystrophy for 3 months and testing the grip strength of both hands of the patients, it was found that the grip strength of the left hand increased from (6.0±1.6) Kg to (8.1±0.5) Kg before the treatment, and the right hand from (7.1±2.4) Kg to (8.2±0.5) Kg, and the right hand increased by a maximum of 5.7 Kg, which is 1.5 times more than that before the treatment [5], which shows that stellate ganglion blockade has a modulating effect on all systems of the organism.
