Nerve block for long COVID
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had long COVID symptoms (like dizziness, changes in sweating, or digestive issues) for at least 3 months.
- You have at least one autonomic symptom (like feeling faint when standing or trouble controlling your bladder).
- You have been on the same long COVID medications for the past 4 weeks without changes.
- You do not have certain health issues like glaucoma, bleeding problems, or severe lung disease.

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 if a ultrasound-guided injection near the stellate ganglion (a cluster of nerves in the neck) can improve recovery after planned heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces pain and speeds up healing.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block can reduce PTSD symptoms, especially feeling highly “on edge” (hyperarousal). You may join if you have PTSD despite appropriate usual treatments and are able to go through the procedure safely.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block in the neck (stellate ganglion block) can help people with POTS (a condition causing fast heart rate when standing) feel better. You would receive the injection and return for follow-up visits.
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 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.
