Citation CADTH. Anesthetic injections into the stellate ganglion for the treatment of hot flashes in women: a review of clinical and cost-effectiveness and guidelines. Ottawa: Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). Rapid Response. 2014 Authors' conclusions Limited evidence has shown that SGB may provide an effective treatment in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes in post-menopausal women and in women with breast cancer in the short term. Larger sham controlled trials are needed to confirm the findings. There is no evidence on cost-effectiveness of CBG and guidelines associated with its use are lacking.
