Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Reduction of dissociative symptoms and inner tension in patients with routine treatment (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Bohus et al. 2004) combined with ultrasound guided SGB (Stellate Ganglion Blocks) in contrast to patients without the intervention (SGB). The effectivness is measured with standardized questionars: every meeting Dissociations-Tension-Scale-4 (DSS-4) and the Clinical Global Impression Skala (CGI). Once per week the Beck-Depression-Inventar (BDI), Borderline-Symptom-List-23 (BSL-23), State-Trait-Anxiety-inventory-S (STAI-S), PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Before and after the intervention series the patient has to fill up the Questionnaire of dissociative symptoms (FDS) and the Symptom-Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R).	—
