Stellate ganglion block beyond trauma is not a phrase that would have appeared in medical conversations ten years ago. Back then, the procedure was largely discussed in the context of pain medicine or severe stress disorders. But something has been shifting in recent years. Quietly. Not through flashy headlines, but
