The proposal would require the Department of Defense to offer stellate ganglion block (a nerve-blocking injection treatment) to military members diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a treatment option. This medical procedure, which targets nerves in the neck area to reduce stress responses, would be made available to active-duty service members and veterans dealing with PTSD symptoms. The bill aims to expand treatment options for military personnel struggling with trauma-related mental health conditions.
