Overview

The goal of this or clinical trial is to explore efficacy of stellate ganglion block on dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients. The main question it aims to answer are:

Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia and activities of daily living in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients.

Traumatic Brain Injury Patients will be divided into the the control group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given stellate ganglion block. The swallowing function, and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated.
