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.

- 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)

This study tests a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) as a treatment for anxiety. It aims to see if the procedure improves anxiety symptoms and how it affects brain activity. The trial is looking for adults aged 18-60 with both an anxiety disorder and a pain condition.
This study tests whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can help improve sleep in patients who have been unconscious for a long time after a brain injury. If you are scheduled for a spinal cord stimulator implant, this treatment might help you sleep better.
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 trial tests if injections around nerves in the head and neck can improve sleep for people with long-lasting headaches that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It may help you if you have daily or near-daily headaches and are looking for a non-medication option.
This study tests a stellate ganglion block (an injection near nerves in the neck) to see if it can improve symptoms of long-standing facial nerve palsy. It may help patients who have had facial paralysis for a while.
This trial compares two nerve-block procedures to treat long-term pain after breast cancer surgery. It tests whether blocking a nerve cluster in the neck or one in the chest gives better pain relief.
