Nerve block for sleep improvement in ptsd
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block (an injection near nerves in the neck) can improve sleep and reduce stress in people with PTSD. You would wear a smart ring or watch for a few weeks so researchers can track your sleep and stress levels.

This study tests a non-invasive way to stimulate nerves without surgery in people with PTSD, especially looking at sleep and related symptoms. It may help by improving how your nervous system and sleep patterns work over time.
This study tests a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) to help reduce PTSD symptoms. The device is worn on the skin and may help ease trauma-related stress and anxiety.
This study looks at whether a nerve block (stellate ganglion block) can improve sleep for military members and veterans with PTSD who are already getting a type of talk therapy. You'll wear a special headband to track your sleep patterns overnight.
This study tests a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, which numbs a cluster of nerves in the neck, to see if it can improve sleep in people with depression. It may help if you have both depression and sleep problems.
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 study tests a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, which is an injection near a nerve in the neck, to see if it can improve sleep quality in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness after brain injury, following a surgery to implant a spinal cord stimulator.
