description Abstract Background Postoperative sore throat and sleep disturbance are prevalent among patients undergoing spinal surgery, and these conditions can substantially impact their postoperative satisfaction and quality of life. The present study aimed to examine the impact of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) on the occurrence of postoperative sore throat (POST) and postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) in patients who undergo lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia. Methods Sixty patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (SGB group) or the control group (CG). Both groups received the same induction and maintenance drugs. However, the SGB group received a right SGB under ultrasound guidance 15 min before anesthesia induction, while the CG did not receive any block anesthesia intervention before anesthesia induction. We monitored the incidence and severity of POST at 1, 6, 24, and 48 h after surgery in both groups. Additionally, we evaluated the deep sleep quality score on the first, second, and fifth days after surgery in both groups. Results The incidence of POST at 1 h and 6 h after surgery was significantly lower in the SGB group (10.0% and 13.3%) than in the CG (43.3% and 36.7%) (P < 0.05). The postoperative sore throat scores of the SGB group (0.10 ± 0.31 and 0.17 ± 0.46) at 1 h and 6 h after surgery were lower than those of the CG (0.57 ± 0.73 and 0.50 ± 0.77) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the deep sleep quality score on the first, second, and fifth days after surgery were significantly higher in the CG (5.40 ± 3.37, 4.70 ± 3.19, 4.53 ± 3.44) than in the SGB group (3.87 ± 2.30, 3.13 ± 1.77, 3.03 ± 1.84) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided SGB can reduce the incidence and severity of POST and improve PSD in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Trial registration This study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, (ChiCTR2200065279) on 01/11/2022.
