How SGB Works
- 1 The brain’s fight or flight response can become “stuck” in high gear after experiencing trauma.
- 2 This can cause an injury to the brain, resulting in symptoms of PTSD like hypervigilance, insomnia, and irritability.
- 3 The SGB is not a standalone procedure. It is an adjunct treatment that may enhance the effectiveness of a comprehensive mental health plan for PTSD or anxiety.
