Veterans' PTSD may be soothed by a simple neck injection
NCT ID NCT05169190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a stellate ganglion block—a numbing injection in the neck—can quickly reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. About 410 veterans who still have PTSD after trying standard treatments will receive either the real injection or a sham (fake) one. Researchers will measure symptom changes and side effects to see if this fast-acting approach is safe and effective.
