NCT ID NCT05889741
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a stellate ganglion block (a numbing injection in the neck) to intensive talk therapy helps reduce PTSD symptoms more than therapy alone. About 140 military members or retirees with PTSD will receive ten 90-minute therapy sessions, plus either the real injection or a sham. Researchers will measure changes in PTSD severity and stress levels to see if the combination works better.
