A multi-site study using both sham and real anesthetic stellate ganglion nerve blocks.  The initial results are promising, and this therapy as been already used on special ops troops for years.  The therapy is cheap and easy to perform.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
