Sleep Changes After Nerve Block Treatment for PTSD
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking procedure called a stellate ganglion block (SGB) improves sleep and reduces stress markers in people with PTSD. Researchers will track your sleep using a wearable device (ring or watch) to see if the treatment helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 early-phase study tests a responsive brain stimulation device to help people with chronic PTSD who have not improved with standard treatments. You would be closely followed for years, with regular assessments and device setting changes to see if symptoms improve.
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 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 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.
