NCT ID NCT07351773
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a procedure called a stellate ganglion block (SGB), given with standard medication, could improve thinking and memory in people with Alzheimer's disease. Forty participants were randomly assigned to receive either SGB plus standard drugs or standard drugs alone. The main goal was to see if the SGB group had better cognitive scores one month after treatment, and to check for any side effects.
