Biography

Philippa Haney is an author exploring the potential role of Stellate Ganglion Blocks (SGB) as an adjunctive intervention for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Her work examines the relationship between sympathetic nervous system activity, autonomic dysregulation, and functional neurological symptoms. Her theoretical perspective highlights how SGB may help reduce sympathetic hyperarousal and potentially support engagement with cognitive-behavioural therapy, physiotherapy-based retraining, and self-regulation techniques. Her work emphasizes the need for further clinical research into SGB as a potential adjunctive approach for FND.
