The authors have tried previously to substitute a conventional stellate ganglionblock use of local regional anesthetic agents with low power output laser irradiation on thestellate ganglion. It is necessary for the clarification of a function mechanism compare bothmethods.
However, stellate ganglion blocking could not be carried out because it was difficult to getsubjects. Fortunately we were recently able to get some volunteers to help us. In this papera comparison between the conventional stellate ganglion block that uses local anestheticagents and low power output Nd: YAG laser irradiation on the stellate ganglion is described.
Facial cutaneous temperature, blood pressure and the pulse rate were measured. Facialcutaneous temperatures were analyzed from the image. (J. Jpn. Soc. Laser Dent. 4: 33-38, 1993 Reprint requests to Dr. Kaneko)
