The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can stellate ganglion block improve gastroesophageal reflux symptoms better on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Stellate Ganglion Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, to see if the Stellate Ganglion Block can help improve the symptom.
Gastroesophageal reflux is a common digestive disorder characterized by the backflow of stomach contents and fluids into the esophagus.

| Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire | The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire is a commonly used questionnaire for assessing the symptoms and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was developed by gastrointestinal experts in Germany and consists of six questions that evaluate the frequency and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. For each question, patients are required to select the answer that best corresponds to their situation. Different scores are assigned based on the chosen answers, and a total score is calculated at the end. The maximum score for the Test is 12 points, with a lower score indicating milder symptoms and a higher score indicating more severe symptoms. | day 1 and day 20 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Pressure pain threshold | Pressure is applied on the spinous processes of the fourth cervical vertebrae. Pressure will be uniformly increased, and patients are given the identical instruction, "let me know when the sensation of pressure becomes uncomfortable or painful". At this point, the pressure will be immediately released, and the plunger is retracted by the evaluator. And the pressure will be recorded |

| Stellate ganglion block | Procedure | Based on the invention above, the patients in the observation group were provided with Stellate ganglion block, using 1.5ml of 2% Lidocaine hydrochloride (1ml: 0.5mg) and 500ug of Vitamin B12 (1ml: 0.5g). The percutaneous approach via the paratracheal route was used for Stellate ganglion block. The operator stood on the side of the block, instructed the patient to lie supine with a thin pillow placed below the shoulders, and tilted the head 45° towards the blocked side, fully exposing the neck. Then, routine disinfection of the neck skin was performed. The puncture site was located 2.5 cm above the sternoclavicular joint and 1.5 cm lateral to the midline of the neck. |
