Neck injection boosts PTSD therapy? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05534126
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a stellate ganglion block (a numbing injection in the neck) to cognitive processing therapy (a type of talk therapy) helps reduce PTSD and chronic pain more than therapy alone. Sixty adults with PTSD took part. The goal was to see if the combination improves symptoms better than therapy with a placebo injection.
