Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block in the treatment of senile insomnia. Methods A total of 50 elderly patients whose comprehensive clinical examination results met the diagnostic criteria for insomnia from 2023.09 to 2024.09 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned into two groups, 25 patients in the control group and 25 patients in the observation group, respectively. The control group received routine treatment and intervention, while the observation group received ultrasound-guided stariform ganglion block treatment and intervention. The effects of different interventions were compared and analyzed. Results In the observation group, the proportion of total adverse events was less, the data value of bad mood was lower, and the data value of sleep quality status was lower, and the P-value was <0.05, which was statistically significant. Conclusion Ultrasound guided stele ganglion block treatment in elderly patients with insomnia is beneficial to reduce the risk of related adverse events and enhance the improvement effect of sleep quality.
