Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Can stellate ganglion block improve gastroesophageal reflux symptoms better on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Stellate Ganglion Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 10 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, to see if the Stellate Ganglion Block can help improve the symptom.
