Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks: SPG Blocks are also commonly called Pterygopalatine Ganglion Blocks
These are an amzing number of medical claims found in patents for using Sphenopalatine Ganglion Stimulators to treat many medical conditions. In my experience patients can get these same results with self administered SPG Block.
It is important to understand that the Sphenopalatine Ganglion is actually a part of the brain located outside of the calvarium which houses most of the brain, which is why it is easily accessible. It contains connections to both the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems that are controlled (and control) the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is supercharged with connections in the Reticular Activating System and both of these are parts of the Limbic System or Emotional System but also motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. These also control pleasure and pain.

The hypothalamus maintains our bodies homeostasis and in turn drives the pituitary gland and the adrenal glands. The Sphenopalatine Ganglion is our secret back door to these powerful systems and this explains the enormous list of medical claims found in this and other patents.
The Spenopalatine Ganglion Block can have amazing results as you can see from these videos.
