ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of stellate ganglion block (SGB) in the treatment of peri-men-opanse syndrome of clinical efficacy. Methods 30 patients diagnosed as perimenepausal syndorme by the gynecolo-gy clinic in our hospital from February 2007 to December 2008 were selected. All patients experienced vaginal cytolo-gy and examination of blood estradiol (E2),follicle-stimulating generation Su (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),in line with perimenopausal syndrome and no other chronic diseases, and in the last 3 months the patients had not taken hormone treatment drugs. Anterior SGB once a day,around the turn was adopted,taking 10 times as a course of treat-ment. All patients were treated for two courses. The blood FSH, LH, E2 changes were recorded. Results Blood E<,2> in-creased from (31.29±19.36) pmol/L to (159.47±88.21) pmol/L(t=-24.976, P<0.01). FSH decreased from (54.67±19.24) U/L to (38.15±13.50) U/L (t=13.872, P<0.01), and LH dropped from (36.1± 15.6)U/L to (26.7±8.7)U/L (t=9.188,P<0.01). Conclusion SGB has the disorder and autonomic Endo-crine function to achieve a new balance because it can adjust perimenopausal autonomic nervous imbalance, so it is the effective treatment for elimination of peri-menopause syndrome.
