Study Summary

This is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to gain preliminary evidence regarding the acceptability, tolerability, safety, and efficacy of a combined intervention of Stellate Ganglion Blockade (SGB) and psychoeducation on trauma symptoms and health behaviors in patients exhibiting early PTSD symptoms after cardiac arrest (CA). Primary Aim 1 (Feasibility outcomes): Gain preliminary evidence regarding the acceptability, tolerability, and safety of conducting a randomized trial that evaluates a single SGB treatment in conjunction with psychoeducation among CA patients with early PTSD symptoms. Secondary Aim 1 (Treatment-related outcomes): Test, whether SGB/psychoeducation treatment in CA patients with clinically significant PTSD symptoms is associated with reduced cardiac anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and improved health behaviors (physical activity and sleep duration), assessed objectively by a wrist-worn accelerometer for 4 weeks post-discharge.

Primary Outcome

This is designed to measure the feasibility of successful enrollment.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Psychoeducation
  • PROCEDURE Normal saline injection
