Nerve block for Long COVID symptoms
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if gentle hands-on treatment (osteopathic manipulative therapy) can help relieve long-lasting COVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and body pain.
This study tests a procedure called a cervicothoracic sympathetic block (a nerve block in the neck) to see if it helps with long-term symptoms after COVID-19, like dizziness, sweating, or stomach problems. It's for people whose symptoms have lasted at least 3 months and who have not tried this treatment before.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electrical or magnetic pulses on the head can help relieve long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms like muscle pain, breathing issues, or changes in taste and smell. It aims to see if this treatment can improve these symptoms in people who have had COVID-19.
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 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 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.
