The Complete Neuro-Reset is a specialized three-step procedure that re-balances your nervous system to induce life-changing mind-body improvements.
Using advanced ultrasound imaging, a board-certified physician administers a local anesthetic into nerve bundles in the neck that are linked to the brain’s Amygdala, which regulates the fight-or-flight response.
The block gives a heightened sympathetic nervous system time to rest and reset at pre-stress or pre-trauma levels.
Guided by advanced ultrasound imaging, a board-certified physician injects fluid around the Vagus Nerve to release pressure and create space, enhancing the nerve’s function and promoting relaxation. A de-compressed Vagus Nerve also facilitates the delivery of substances that can enhance nerve functioning, including exosomes, peptides, platelet plasma, and growth factors.
Chronic stress and depression have been shown to alter the neurotransmitter glutamate, making it more difficult for neurons to communicate. Ketamine triggers the production of Glutamate and the protein BDNF to stimulate neuroplasticity in the brain and improve neural communication. 5,6 By inducing neuroplasticity, ketamine infusions can also help people break free from depressive and anxious thought patterns.
37% of people with elevated stress levels are more likely to have poor cognitive performance.1,2
The Stellate Ganglion Block first resets your sympathetic nervous system, giving your body a chance to calm down and rest after experiencing prolonged stress in a heightened fight-or-flight state.
Stellate Ganglion Blocks typically involve injecting the Stellate Ganglion nerve bundle with a local anesthetic. Our evolved version also anesthesizes the Superior Cervical Ganglion. This technique was originally developed by the Stella Center’s Dr. Eugene Lipov. As a Hudson Mind advisor, Dr. Lipov personally trained our physicians in this technique. This technique has been proven to be more effective than the single-site technique utilized by most clinicians, most recently in a 2020 study.
A 2023 clinical study led by Dr. Sean Mulvaney found that 75.5% of patients with severe anxiety demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement 1 month after their Stellate Ganglion Block treatment. 7
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) was used to assess changes in baseline anxiety among all of the patients included in the study. The treatment resulted in a decrease of GAD-7 scores of over twice the minimal clinically important difference in treating anxiety for at least 1 month following SGB.
Yes! SGBs work well in conjunction with other treatments, like talk therapy or many of our other Interventional Mental Health services. You may find that this treatment actually accelerates your progression in therapy, because the reset of your sympathetic nervous system encourages a new sense of calm. In a calm state, you may be able to recall past traumatic events without feeling as though you are reliving and without sparking a fear response.
