US Army invests $2million in research to test ‘game changer’ one-shot injection to beat PTSD
A ‘stellate ganglion block’ is an injection of anesthetic into a nerve cluster called the stellate ganglion, which connects the brain to the body
This nerve cluster is key for controlling our response to perceived danger
Scientists claim one shot to numb this cluster can ‘reset’ our nervous system
The injection has been used successfully since it was invented in Illinois in 2006
Now the US Army has invested $2m in US studies to confirm its effectiveness before endorsing it as a standard treatment method
