Ultrasound does not expose patients to ionizing radiation and can be safely performed in a clinic setting using real-time visualization to precisely guide a needle to the target nerve in the side of the neck. Ultrasound provides distinct visualization of soft tissues such as nerves and blood vessels which we want to avoid with this injection. Fluoroscopy does not.
Both are standard techniques and taught to many physicians. Neither could be considered "better" than the other, but Dr. Ly...

Can it be used for tinnitus

Where are you located
Who do you perform these on or what are the indications for the sgbs that you do? Thanks
Is this covered by Medicare for PTSD? (Asia 20 years ago, non-military, severe case)
Is this covered by insurance?
Insurance usually does not reimburse SGB treatment for anxiety or PTSD.
Very interesting
Is SBG safe for people who have increased blood pressure from their sympathetic nervous system being in overdrive?
Dr. Lynch we have feelings of hope for my husband after finding your videos on PTDS/anxiety. Traveling from the Charlotte, N.C. area to Annapolis would be a challenge although we would prefer to see you for this procedure. Do you know of an affiliate with your skills closer to us? Blessings, the Sifford family
Thanks Dr. Lynch :) This was very informative.
Is there any contraindications for those with cervical fusions that you are aware of? I need this product for both PTSD and chronic pain.
@@angelasanchez4413 No.
How long does that nerve stay asleep?
6-8 hours
6-8 hours
Had right side EGB 3 months later just had left side. What’s the difference? Is one better than other? How soon is it recommended to do both?
Did it work/help?
Not like I thought or heard from other people. But I didn’t have it for anxiety or PTSD. It was more for a neck injury I’ve been dealing with.
How successful is the treatment for cardiac angina? How effective is it?
My son has Medi-Cal insurance that does not pay for this procedure. He is very debilitated by PTSD. How can he access this life saving care?
I had this done and felt a pain in my neck for about a year. Just felt uncomfortable but treated anxiety, mainly PTSD
Dr. Lynch - Are there any consequences to essentially turning off the fight or flight response? It seems concerning/unsafe to turn off such an important protective part. I'm wondering how hard this dials that system back and for how long? In your example of someone slamming brakes in front of you causing you to enter into fight or flight - would SGB make you feel like there is no threat if someone slams their brakes in front of you?
Turning off the sympathetic response permanently would be a terrible idea! Thanks for the question. No. SGB uses an anesthesia that wears off in 6-8 hours. It allows the fight-or-flight system to RESET. The cervical sympathetic trunk simply goes to sleep for 8 hours. When it wakes up, it functions normally-typically at a state which is appropriate not in a state of inappropriate hyperarousal. Hope that helps. drjameslynch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/SGBNeurocogPerformanceMilMed15.pdf

No. SGB does not turn off or even dampen a normal fight or flight response. (That would be a bad idea!) The anesthetic used to “block” the cervical sympathetic trunk wears off in 6-8 hours. This allows the nerve to RESET from an inappropriately elevated circuit to normal function. Hope that helps. See article in link above.
@@jameslynch3448 Thanks!
It doesn’t work that way, it just resets it. So if you were actually in danger you would still know and react properly instead of constantly being in fight or flight doing simple everyday tasks.
do you use any steroid with the local? Do you use a 22 G needle?
No steroids. 25g needle.
Anyone doing this in Scandinavia?
