Nerve block for long COVID symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests a nerve block in the neck to see if it can help reduce symptoms of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes dizziness and a fast heartbeat when standing up. The treatment aims to calm the nerves that may be overactive in POTS.
This study tests if a specific nerve block (cervical sympathetic block) can help reduce trauma-related symptoms in Special Operations veterans with PTSD. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can improve how you feel.
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 study looks at a treatment called a stellate ganglion block, which is an injection near a nerve in the neck that may help with symptoms of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a condition that causes dizziness and a fast heartbeat when standing up. It also involves detailed health assessments to better understand POTS.
This study tests whether injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) near nerves in the neck can reduce chronic arm or hand pain in people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It aims to see if this treatment can provide longer-lasting pain relief than a standard nerve block.
