“…The PLPB, also known as psoas compartment block, is a block known since the 1970s [7,34] and is traditionally performed under neurostimulation [6]. The limitation of its popularity is due to the potential serious complications [4].…”

“…Horner syndrome refers to the ocular depression, miosis, and ptosis that occur due to impairment of the sympathetic nervous system function around the eyeball [ 11 ], and it is used clinically to judge the efficacy of SGB. Although, SCGB in this study was considered useful for creating an SGB model because ptosis and miosis were confirmed immediately after the block, and unlike the short-term changes noted in blood flow and skin temperature, the ptosis and miosis persisted even after 6 months.…”

BackgroundA stellate ganglion block (SGB) causes increased blood flow in the maxillofacial region, exhibiting the potential for regenerative effects in damaged tissue. The focus of this study was to understand the efficacy of SGB for regenerative effects against nerve damage. A rat model of the superior cervical ganglion block (SCGB) was created instead of SGB, and facial blood flow, as well as sympathetic nervous system function, were measured.MethodsA vertical incision was made on the left side of the neck of a Wistar rat, and a 5-mm resection of the superior cervical ganglion was performed at the back of the bifurcation of the internal and external branches of the left common carotid artery. Blood flow in the skin at the mandibular angle and mean facial temperature were measured using a laser-Doppler blood flow meter and a thermographic camera, respectively, over a 5-week period after the block. In addition, the degree of ptosis and miosis were assessed over a period of 6 months.ResultsThe SCGB rat showed significantly higher blood flow at the mandibular angle on the block side (P < 0.05) for 3 weeks, and significantly higher skin temperature (P < 0.05) for 1 week after the block. In the SCGB rat, ptosis and miosis occurred immediately after the block, and persisted even 6 months later.ConclusionsSCGB in rats can cause an increase in the blood flow that persists over 3 weeks.

“…Symptoms of Horner’s syndrome include facial flushing, drooping eyelids, conjunctival congestion, and pupillary constriction. 3 As research in this field progresses, some researchers have observed that the occurrence of Horner’s syndrome is not 100% in patients undergoing the block procedure. 4 Furthermore, the absence of quantitative indicators for objectively assessing hemodynamic changes in SGB, especially for patients needing to monitor its impact on specific organs or regions.…”
