Medically unexplained symptoms refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by somatic symptoms that cannot be reasonably explained by any organic disease. Chronic pain can be a type of medically unexplained symptom. The current treatment modalities for chronic pain mainly include drugs and psychotherapy. The use of stellate ganglion block for treatment of chronic pain has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a patient whose chronic pain was completely relieved after receiving a stellate ganglion block.
医学无法解释的症状是指一种以躯体症状为特征的临床综合征，这些症状不能被任何器质性疾病合理地解释。慢性疼痛可能是一种医学无法解释的症状。目前，慢性疼痛的治疗方法主要包括药物治疗和心理治疗。星状神经节阻滞治疗慢性疼痛的应用鲜有报道。本文报告了一例慢性疼痛患者，接受星状神经节阻滞治疗后疼痛完全缓解。
