Описание: Lauren Feringa interviews Dr Sean Mulvaney

In this video Dr Mulvaney answers many hot topic questions surrounding Stellate Ganglion Blocks for PTSD like:

What is an SGB and what's in the injection?

Who can get an SGB for PTSD?

Why can't we get a left and a right block simultaneously?

And many more...

Dr Mulvaney is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. During his 31-year military career, he served our nation’s Special Operations community as both a US Navy SEAL officer and a US Army physician. In 2008, he became the first Department of Defense physician to be credentialed in minimally invasive sports medicine for repair of Musculoskeletal and spine injuries.

Dr. Mulvaney was the first to use Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to treat combat-related PTSI and has published in this field of research for since 2009. He has pioneered, educated and extensively published on ultrasound-guided techniques. As the Director of Research and a staff physician with ROSM in Annapolis, Maryland, Dr. Mulvaney focuses on the musculoskeletal, nerve and spine injuries using minimally invasive or non-operative techniques with ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance and SGB’s for PTSD.

The stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a procedure in which an injection of a long-acting local anesthetic, using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, is made in the right side of the neck around the main nerve that controls the “fight or flight” response (the sympathetic nervous system). This nerve, (the cervical sympathetic chain) which is a two-way conduit, connects the parts of the brain that control the fight or flight response (referred to as the central autonomic network) to the rest of the body. By blocking or “turning off” the traffic in the cervical sympathetic chain, it is believed that the parts of the brain that control the fight or flight response are allowed to completely reset, resulting in long-term relief of the associated anxiety symptoms. Multiple peer-reviewed medical studies show that a right-sided SGB results in significant long-term improvement in chronic anxiety symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI). The SGB takes less than 15 minutes to perform, and benefits are seen in as little as 30 minutes.
