Trial Outcomes & Findings for Stellate Ganglion Blockade in Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19) Positive Patients (NCT NCT04445337)

NCT ID: NCT04445337

Last Updated: 2025-01-20

Results Overview

a) differences in mean/median values for SGB vs standard of care (SOC) will be assessed at each of the study designated time points for all the continuous biomarker measures - by assessing magnitude of difference and its 95% confidence level and testing differences for statistical significance at each of the time points;

Measure
Open Label SGB
Initial perineural bolus injection - clonidine 100 mcg, Decadron sodium phosphate (PF) 5mg, and 0.25% bupivacaine 5 ml will be used for SGB block. Stellate Ganglion Block: An injection of local anesthetic into the front of the neck. Medication used for the block include- clonidine 100 mcg, Decadron PF 5mg, and 0.25% bupivacaine 5 ml is delivered.
Control Arm
There will be no sham procedure for the control group. The control group will have nitric oxide levels performed once a day by a member of the research team. Lab draws will be drawn at the same frequency as the treatment group. Control: Standard of care. Observation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 month

Population: Differences in mean/median values for SGB vs standard of care (SOC) will be assessed at each of the study designated time points for all the continuous biomarker measures - by assessing the magnitude of difference and its 95% confidence level and testing differences for statistical significance at each of the time points; Unable to recruit sufficient subjects. Only one subject was randomized to the control group and did not receive the intervention.
