2022年1月12日 · At Cleveland Clinic, pulmonary and otolaryngology tend to be the final common pathways for patients, and superior laryngeal nerve block (SLN) may be an option for patients when medical management and cough suppression therapy do …

To demonstrate that an in‐office superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) block with lidocaine and steroids is an effective alternative to neuromodulators for patients with neurogenic cough. Retrospective study. A retrospective review of 10 patients who underwent in office nerve block to the laryngeal nerve (SLN) for neurogenic cough.

2021年6月21日 · SLN blocks—following the established treatment of the combination of corticosteroid and local anesthetic injections used in neuropathies—represent a cost-effective, low-risk supplement or...

2023年10月25日 · Superior laryngeal nerve block improves for patients with neurogenic cough reported symptomatic improvement, and repeat injections may benefit patients with initial nonresponse.

2025年1月28日 · Chronic cough associated with laryngeal hypersensitivity is linked to sensory neuropathy of the superior laryngeal nerve and can be complex to manage. Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) blocks are increasingly being utilized by laryngologists to treat refractory chronic cough with the intent of reducing inflammation and nerve hypersensitivity.

The author’s first study reviewed 10 patients who underwent a series of SLN blocks and demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in cough survey index (CSI) scores. 5 Publications on SLN blocks are growing, many of them demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and ultimately efficacy of peripheral nerve blocks to the SLN. 6 The aim ...

Objectives: Neurogenic cough is believed to result from a sensory neuropathy involving the internal branch of the supe-rior laryngeal nerve (SLN). We present our outcomes for the treatment of neurogenic cough with localized blockade of the internal branch of the SLN.

2024年6月17日 · Superior laryngeal nerve block is a safe and effective treatment of neurogenic cough, according to a recent study by the department of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, S.C.

Objectives: This study aimed to add to the body of evidence for efficacy of Superior Laryngeal Nerve (SLN) blocks for treatment of neurogenic cough. Efficacy at short- and long-term intervals are presented as well as relationships with laryngoscopic findings.

2023年9月26日 · The findings of our study support that the SLN block is a safe in-office procedure for laryngologists and patients to explore together in the management of the hypersensitive or maladaptive larynx given the limited adverse events.
