Comparing diluted bupivacaine for arm surgery nerve block
This trial tests whether mixing the numbing medicine bupivacaine with sugar water (dextrose) or salt water (saline) affects how well a nerve block works for upper arm surgery. The goal is to find which mixture provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
SakaryaAges 18–65 - NCT07382063Enrolling by invitation
Nerve block effects on diaphragm in kids having arm surgery
This study tests a special numbing shot (nerve block) around the shoulder to see how it affects the muscle that helps kids breathe (the diaphragm) during and after arm surgery. It may help doctors choose safer pain methods for school-aged children.
ShanghaiAges 6–12 - NCT07374952RecruitingPhase 4
Finding the smallest effective dose for a clavicle nerve block
This study tests how much numbing medicine is needed to block nerves below the collarbone during shoulder surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose to reduce side effects.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–70 - NCT06831604Recruiting
Nerve blocks for clavicle surgery pain relief
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain control during and after clavicle fracture surgery. It may help patients have a smoother recovery with less pain.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–65 - NCT07216820Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in obesity
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in people with obesity. It tests whether a block that spares the phrenic nerve (which helps you breathe) can keep your breathing strength stronger after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05649644Recruiting
Testing two anesthesia types for arm surgery
This trial compares two methods of numbing the arm and chest area during upper-extremity surgery. It may help you and your care team choose the option that works best and feels easiest for breathing and movement.
Hong KongAges 18–75 - NCT07209995Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided arm block for obese patients
This trial compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for obese patients having surgery on or below the elbow. The goal is to find which approach works best for this group.
ZagazigAges 21–45 - NCT07151443Recruiting
Comparing two ways to numb the arm for hand surgery in people with obesity
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for forearm or hand surgery in people who are obese. One method places the numbing medicine near the collarbone from the front, and the other from behind the collarbone. The goal is to see which way works better.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07090733Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery: comparing breathing and pain relief
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21–65 - NCT06878391Recruiting
Shoulder nerve blocks for rotator cuff repair surgery
This trial tests whether adding specific nerve blocks and a patient-controlled pain pump improves pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. It may help people who are having this surgery feel better and use less pain medicine.
Chuncheon, Gangwon-doAges 20 years+ - NCT04979338RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-sparing pain control for gender-affirming surgery
This Phase 3 study tests ways to manage pain during and after gender-affirming surgery while using less opioid medicine. It may help improve comfort after surgery and reduce opioid-related side effects.

Buprenorphine, clonidine, and steroid to extend arm nerve block
This study tests whether adding certain medicines (buprenorphine, clonidine, and a steroid) to an arm “nerve block” during shoulder surgery can help the numbness last longer and improve comfort afterward. It is for adults having shoulder arthroscopy and compares how long the nerve block works.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT07833930Recruiting
Breakthrough pain after arm numbing block in diabetic patients
This study looks at whether people with diabetes have more breakthrough pain (pain that breaks through despite the block) within 48 hours after an arm surgery with a specific type of nerve block. The goal is to understand and improve pain management for diabetic patients.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for brachial plexus blocks?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting brachial plexus blocks studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a brachial plexus blocks trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a brachial plexus blocks trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
