Key Words Stellate ganglion block; Ulcerative colitis; Immune function; Chronic ulcerative colitis
Core Tip Utility of stellate ganglion block (SGB) seems to be expanding rapidly at this time, finding of its effect on ulcerative colitis is novel. Dr. Zhao’s explanation of the clinical observation seems to be increased blood flow. This theory may be refined based on prior reports of SGB having a significant immunologic effects. Since, ulcerative colitis is considered to be an auto immune disease, modulation immune system by SGB seems a more likely explanation. Further research of modulating immunologic system by utilizing sympathetic blocks may be spurred on by Dr. Zhao’s observation.
