AB Vasomotor symptoms, also called hot flashes, hot flushes, and night sweats, are common during the menopause transition. Severe symptoms can substantially decrease quality of life. The authors first review current hormonal and nonhormonal therapies, then review evidence supporting the potential use of stellate ganglion block for managing vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
