This study tests whether a nasal spray form of IVIG (an immune-boosting treatment) can help people with Long COVID who also have certain immune system issues. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for this group of patients.
This study tests if a nerve block injection in the neck (stellate ganglion block) can help relieve long COVID symptoms related to your body's automatic functions, like dizziness, sweating, or digestion. It is for people who have had these symptoms for at least 3 months and are on stable medications.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help relieve long COVID symptoms like muscle pain, breathing problems, or loss of taste or smell. It may be an option if you've had these symptoms for at least 30 days after a COVID-19 infection.
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.
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.
