Summary

1. In this study, ultrasound-guided Stellate Ganglion Block(SGB) will be used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, combined with relevant scales, HRV indicators and resting state functional magnetic resonance data, to explore the safety and effectiveness of SGB in the treatment of anxiety disorders, and to explore whether its mechanism of action is related to the excitability of sympathetic nervous system and the activity changes of insular cortex. 2. Verify the following hypothesis: (1) SGB is a safe, well-tolerated and acceptable treatment technique; (2) After SGB treatment, the anxiety symptoms of the patients were relieved to a certain extent and the psychological function was restored; (3) The sympathetic excitability of patients after SGB treatment is reduced, and this effect can be monitored by heart rate variability; (4) The activity of insular cortex decreased after SGB treatment.

Conditions

• Anxiety Disorders
• Stellate Ganglion Block

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Stellate Ganglion Block	Stellate ganglion block refers to the injection of local anesthetic drugs into tissues around and near SG to regulate the tension of the sympathetic nervous system, inhibit the outflow of the sympathetic nerve in the innervation area of the stellate ganglion to the ipsilateral head, neck, chest and upper limb, and finally achieve the role of regulating the autonomic nervous system, circulatory system, endocrine system and immune system of the human body to maintain dynamic balance. It is used to treat a variety of pain and non-pain diseases.
