- NCT07077824Recruiting
Nerve block to reduce artery catheter complications in heart surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can reduce complications from placing an artery catheter during heart surgery. It is for people with weak heart function (EF below 35%) or severe lung hypertension who are expected to have a long surgery.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07211347RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for electrical storm
This trial tests whether injecting numbing medicine around neck nerves (stellate ganglion block) can calm dangerous heart rhythms called electrical storm. It's for people with heart disease whose abnormal rhythms keep happening despite usual medications.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06322407Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided neck injection for treating chronic migraine
This study tests whether a nerve block injection near the neck (called stellate ganglion block), guided by ultrasound, can reduce chronic migraine pain. It may be a good option if you have chronic migraine and haven't found relief from standard preventive medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05720936Recruiting
Nerve block treatment for dangerous heart rhythm episodes
This trial looks at a procedure called a stellate ganglion block to calm dangerous, repeated heart rhythm attacks that haven’t improved with standard medicines. It may help reduce how often and how long these episodes last while you’re in the hospital.
Alessandria, ALAges Any age - NCT06263907Recruiting
Nerve block to prevent depression after mastectomy
This study tests whether a nerve block near the neck (stellate ganglion block) can help prevent depression after mastectomy for breast cancer. It is for women who are generally healthy and have no history of mood disorders.
Al MansurahAges 21–65 - NCT06570213RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Neck injection plus talk therapy for PTSD
This study tests whether a combination of a neck injection (stellate ganglion block) and a talk therapy called Cognitive Processing Therapy helps treat PTSD better than either alone. Participants will get two injections two weeks apart, plus a week of daily therapy sessions.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06662461Recruiting
Nerve block for stubborn migraines: Stellate vs occipital
This trial tests which nerve block works better for stubborn migraines: one on the stellate ganglion (a cluster of nerves in the neck) or the greater occipital nerve (at the back of the head). They will also check how these blocks affect a chemical linked to migraine pain. If you have chronic migraines that haven't improved with multiple treatments, you may be eligible.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07129811Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic pain syndrome
This trial tests a nerve block injection (stellate ganglion block) to treat complex regional pain syndrome, a chronic pain condition. It may help if your pain is severe and other treatments haven't worked.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–75 - NCT07374562Recruiting
Nerve block for Long COVID symptoms
This study tests a nerve block injection (called a stellate ganglion block) to see if it can help relieve ongoing symptoms of Long COVID, especially breathing problems. It is for people who have had COVID-19 symptoms for at least 3 months.
Trois-Rivières, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06271707RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block for surgery pain relief
This trial tests a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) to see if it helps reduce pain after surgery to remove part or all of the lung or esophagus. It may be an option for adults aged 18-85 having these procedures.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT05377216RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing nerve stimulation effects during heart ablation
This trial studies how a type of nerve stimulation affects the heart’s electrical signals during a procedure to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia). It may help doctors better understand safety and effects during planned ablation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05700279Recruiting
PTSD treatment to help prevent future chronic pain
This study tests whether treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) right when you come to the emergency room for new, acute pain can lower the chance you develop long-term (chronic) pain. It may help people whose pain and trauma symptoms start around the same time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05889741RecruitingPhase 2
Stellate nerve block plus prolonged therapy for PTSD symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, combined with prolonged exposure therapy, can reduce PTSD symptoms in military members. It may help by targeting the body’s stress signaling while you work on trauma-related memories with guided therapy.
Fort Hood, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06797752Recruiting
Stellate ganglion block and retina blood flow study
This trial looks at how a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) affects blood flow in the retina. It may help people who already get this block for conditions like complex regional pain syndrome understand eye effects.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07473505Recruiting
Nerve block for PTSD in special operations veterans
This study tests if a specific nerve block (cervical sympathetic block) can help reduce trauma-related symptoms in Special Operations veterans with PTSD. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can improve how you feel.
Strongsville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07667309Recruiting
Nerve block effects on sleep in PTSD therapy
This study looks at whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can improve sleep for military members and veterans with PTSD who are already getting a type of talk therapy. You'll wear a special headband to track your sleep patterns overnight.
Killeen, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05427500Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Nerve block treatment for PTSD with strong stress-and-alertness symptoms
This Phase 3 study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block can reduce PTSD symptoms, especially feeling highly “on edge” (hyperarousal). You may join if you have PTSD despite appropriate usual treatments and are able to go through the procedure safely.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18–69 - NCT06947135Recruiting
Testing painkiller injection for heart attack patients
This trial tests if injecting a painkiller near neck nerves can reduce heart damage after a heart attack. It is for patients with a specific type of heart attack who are scheduled for a procedure to open blocked arteries.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07023679Recruiting
Stellate ganglion shot with morphine for heart attack patients
This study tests if a painkiller (morphine) injected near certain neck nerves can reduce damage to the heart muscle during a heart attack procedure. It is for people having a specific type of heart attack and who will get a stent to open the blocked artery.
