SR 311 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to pass H.R. 3023, the Treatment and Relief through Emerging and Accessible Therapy for PTSD Act.

This Senate resolution urges Congress to pass a federal law requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to offer stellate ganglion block therapy to military personnel and veterans suffering from PTSD. The bill aims to address the limitations of current treatments by making this low-risk, long-used medical procedure available to help reduce symptoms like anxiety and hyperarousal. By advocating for the inclusion of this specific therapy, the resolution seeks to expand treatment options for a significant portion of the veteran population diagnosed with PTSD.
