Abstract:In 53 patients with relevant indications, we have delivered stellate ganglion block(SGB)at C_6 and C_7 level(C_6SGB and C_7SGB). The changes of ipsilateral thenar skin temperature and pupil diameter after C_6SGB and C_7SGB were observed. The result shows that C_6SGB has greater inhibiting effect than C_7SGB on the sympathetic activity of the head/face region,while the C_7SGB was more effective than C_6SGB on the sympathetic activity of the arm region.These results indicate that C_6SGB is more effective in treating diseases of the head/face region,while C_7SGB may have better effect in treating diseases in the arm region with appropriate indication.
