Purpose
Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been the alternative treatment of Meniere's disease for years. However, objective evidence of the effect of SGB was still lack. The investigators conducted a randomized controlled study to examine the immediate effects of SGB in SP/AP of electrocochleography (ECoG).

Primary Outcome Measures:
- SP/AP of Electrocochleography [ Time Frame: ECoG was reorded 2 hours after SGB ]SP/AP of ECoG was recorded 2 hours after SGB. to be compared with the SP/AP of ECoG recorded before treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- SP/AP recorded at 4 hours after SGB [ Time Frame: 4 hours after SGB ]SP/AP recorded at 4 hours after SGB was compared with that of pretreatment with SGB
- SP/AP recorded at 6 hours after SGB [ Time Frame: 6 hours after SGB ]SP/AP recorded at 4 hours after SGB was compared with the SP/AP recorded before SGB
- scores of verbal scale for vertigo recorded at 6 hours after SGB [ Time Frame: 6 hours after SGB ]scores of verbal scale for vertigo recorded at 6 hours after SGB was compared to the scores recorded before SGB
