New research continues to support the growing role of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) as part of comprehensive PTSD treatment. A newly published randomized clinical trial found that combining SGB with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) led to faster reductions in PTSD symptoms, especially when SGB was performed before therapy began.

This reinforces what many patients and clinicians are recognizing: healing trauma is not only cognitive, it also involves calming an overactive nervous system.
