Summary

The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be divided into the the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given stellate ganglion block. The swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.

Dysphagia, or swallowing difficulty, is a common symptom associated with Parkinson's disease. It is characterized by weakened chewing and throat muscles, leading to difficulties in eating, coughing, and a sensation of choking in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Injection	The percutaneous approach via the paratracheal route was used for Stellate ganglion block . The operator stood on the side of the block, instructed the patient to lie supine with a thin pillow placed below the shoulders, and tilted the head 45° towards the blocked side, fully exposing the neck. Then, routine disinfection of the neck skin was performed. The puncture site was located 2.5 cm above the sternoclavicular joint and 1.5 cm lateral to the midline of the neck.
DRUG	Lidocaine hydrochloride	the patients were provided with Stellate ganglion block , using 1.5ml of 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride (1ml: 0.5mg) and 500ug of Vitamin B12 (1ml: 0.5g).
