A single application of a common anesthetic procedure could be the answer to alleviating anxiety, depression and psychological pain in those suffering from chronic, extreme post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to research.

No - but it is common to anaesthesia. I was expecting something new to PTSD. We have read about the SGB many times before. Even within this article they acknowledge the effects wear off within 6 months...
 
SGB was a good try, but epic fail IMHO. I have long believed they will have far more success with MDMA psychotherapy than any other quick fix type solution. The MDMA psychotherapy is certainly no quick fix solution, but simply breaking down all the barriers a client presents to a therapist, allowing them to crack through a whole lot of issues much faster, to get resolution happening at lightning speed compared to awaiting a person to be honest, open and forthright with their therapist, let alone be able to cope with the symptoms produced by being honest, open and forthright. The MDMA psychotherapy will literally cut years, decades even, of the trauma therapy process.

That should be their focus IMHO... and especially with veterans and complex trauma sufferers. It isn't a cure for PTSD or its symptoms, but instead of the ongoing support and basically burden upon the system they're dealing with right now, they will elevate all of that from its present state within a two year period IMHO. Especially if countries keep military deployments low level for a couple of years to get through the backlog with MDMA psychotherapy.
