Stellate ganglion shot with morphine for heart attack patients
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having a specific type of heart attack called STEMI, which shows clear changes on an EKG.
- You must be scheduled to get a stent (PCI) to open the blocked heart artery.
- You must have started having chest pain within the last 24 hours.
- You and your family must agree to join the study by signing a consent form.

This trial tests whether patients who have had a heart attack with a specific type of artery blockage can be safely treated without placing a metal stent (tube) in their artery. Doctors will monitor whether the blockage stays open on its own.
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.
This trial tests if a fast-acting inhaled painkiller called methoxyflurane can safely reduce severe chest pain in people having a type of heart attack (STEMI) before they reach the hospital. It's for those who haven't already gotten pain medicine for this episode.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
