Yes: A stellate ganglion block involves injecting local anesthetics to the sympathetic nerves in your neck. This procedure is typically done for reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the arms or upper body. If it is performed by a trained physician on appropriately selected patients, it can be very successful in the treatment of sympathetically mediated pain of the upper extremities.
