Other times, I will switch to research and reading up material related to the scene and brainstorm ideas, until the idea coalesces.

Sometimes I'll sleep on it and the problem will resolve in the morning. But perhaps the best way to cure writer's block is to WRITE! Just write a crappy scene and move on to writing the next scene. You can then go back and re-write the crappy scene better because you will have more knowledge about the story progression. (less)
