Stellate Ganglion Block Treatment in Jaipur

What It Is

Stellate Ganglion Block Treatment in Jaipur - What Happens and Why

A stellate ganglion block is a targeted, image-guided pain procedure around a sympathetic nerve cluster in the lower neck. It is considered when symptoms suggest that the sympathetic nervous system is contributing to persistent pain, temperature change, sweating change or hypersensitivity.

At JPRC Neuro Spine Centre, Stellate Ganglion Block in Jaipur is planned only after careful pain mapping, neurological examination and report review. The aim is to identify suitable patients with CRPS, sympathetically maintained upper limb pain, post-herpetic neuralgia or selected vascular pain patterns, while avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Image-guided stellate ganglion block using precise needle placement and safety monitoring
Assessment of response, limb temperature, pain relief, movement and daily function after the procedure
Rehabilitation, desensitization exercises and repeat block planning only when clinically appropriate

When to Seek Urgent Care

Do Not Ignore These Warning Signs

These signs may indicate a serious problem and should be evaluated urgently instead of waiting for routine consultation.

Rapidly increasing arm or hand swelling, severe colour change, cold painful limb, or loss of pulses
New chest pain, breathlessness, fainting, stroke-like symptoms, high fever, or severe unexplained neck pain
After any neck injection, urgent review is needed for breathing difficulty, trouble swallowing, persistent hoarseness, severe dizziness, seizure-like symptoms, or neck swelling

FAQs

Common Questions

What is a stellate ganglion block?

A stellate ganglion block is an image-guided injection placed near the sympathetic nerve cluster in the lower neck. It is used in selected patients to calm overactive sympathetic pain signals affecting the arm, hand, head, neck or face region.

Who may benefit from this treatment?

It may help selected cases of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), sympathetically maintained arm or hand pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, and some vascular spasm or Raynaud-type pain patterns after specialist evaluation.

Is stellate ganglion block the same as a spine injection?

No. It does not target a slipped disc or spinal nerve root. It targets the sympathetic nerve relay in the neck, so JPRC first checks whether the pain pattern truly suggests sympathetic nerve involvement.

What temporary effects can happen after the block?

Temporary warmth in the arm, droopy eyelid, smaller pupil, nasal stuffiness, hoarseness, or mild swallowing heaviness can occur and usually settles as the anesthetic wears off. Patients are monitored after the procedure for safety.
