Nerve block effects on sleep in PTSD therapy
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be enrolled in the main PTSD treatment study (NCT05889741).
- You need to agree to wear a sleep-monitoring headband at night.
- You should not have any skin condition on your head that makes wearing the headband difficult.

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 tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help reduce PTSD symptoms. If you have PTSD that's lasted at least 3 months, this trial may help you or contribute to better treatments for others.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, combined with prolonged exposure therapy, can reduce PTSD symptoms in military members. It may help by targeting the body’s stress signaling while you work on trauma-related memories with guided therapy.
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.
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 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.
