First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block—a numbing injection near a nerve cluster in the neck—can reduce pain and improve arm function in stroke patients who develop complex regional pain syndrome. About 32 adults will receive the injection plus standard physical therapy. Researchers will measure pain levels, movement, and quality of life over time.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to ease severe pain and improve arm function in stroke survivors with complex regional pain syndrome.
