Stellate ganglion block for relief of pain and prevention of ophthalmic complications in trigeminal herpes zoster has been advised for many years. In a series of 27 patients, control of pain was dramatic after local anesthetic block of the stellate ganglion. This report is presented to stimulate renewed interest in this old form of therapy. Because of the retrospective nature of this investigation, the lack of adequate numbers and the absence of controls, no conclusions on efficacy of treatment can be made. However, enough hope of success is presented to justify a controlled series in a large metropolitan area where adequate numbers of patients can be accumulated for a double-blind protocol.
多年来，一直有人建议采用星状神经节阻滞来缓解三叉神经带状疱疹的疼痛并预防眼部并发症。在一组27例患者中，局部麻醉药阻滞星状神经节后疼痛得到了显著控制。本报告旨在激发人们对这种古老治疗方法的新兴趣。由于本研究具有回顾性、样本数量不足且缺乏对照，因此无法就治疗效果得出结论。然而，本研究展现出了足够的成功希望，足以证明在一个能够积累足够数量患者以进行双盲方案的大都市地区开展对照研究的合理性。
