Nerve block for chronic pain syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have been diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome using official criteria
- Your pain level is more than 4 out of 10 on a standard pain scale
- You do not have other active nerve or brain diseases (like stroke or rheumatic diseases)
- You have no infection, cancer, or severe thinking/memory problems
- No open wounds or loss of feeling in the area where the injection would be given

This study tests a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, which is an injection near a nerve in the neck, to see if it can improve sleep quality in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness after brain injury, following a surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulator.
This trial tests a nerve block, called a stellate ganglion block, to see if it can improve brain recovery after a bleeding stroke. The block is given near the neck to support blood flow to the brain.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection (stellate ganglion block) can reduce confusion and help restore normal sleep-wake cycles in older adults staying in the intensive care unit. Researchers hope this treatment may help patients recover faster and feel more alert.
This study tests whether two types of nerve blocks (injections near the back of the head and neck) can improve sleep in people with chronic headaches. If you have ongoing headaches that haven't improved with other treatments, this might help you sleep better and reduce pain.
This study tests a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, which is an injection near a nerve cluster in your neck, to see if it helps improve symptoms of long-standing facial nerve palsy (like drooping or weakness in your face). It might help by relaxing the facial muscles and improving blood flow.
This study compares two nerve-block procedures to see which one better relieves chronic pain after breast cancer surgery. The procedures aim to 'reset' the nerves that send pain signals to the brain, potentially reducing your pain.
