Efficacy of ultrasound-guided combined sphenopalatine and stellate ganglion block in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although ultrasound-guided nerve blocks have shown potential efficacy in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR), high-quality clinical evidence is limited. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided combined sphenopalatine and stellate ganglion block in the treatment of patients with AR.

Methods
