Nerve blocking for knee arthritis pain
This study tests two treatments for knee arthritis pain when knee replacement isn't an option: a nerve block using heat (radiofrequency ablation) or a chemical injection (phenol), compared to standard care. It aims to find a better way to reduce pain and improve daily function.

Nerve block comparison for hip fracture surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
Istanbul, BeyogluAges 50 years+ - NCT06652581Recruiting
Testing a nerve block for gallbladder surgery pain

Comparing two nerve blocks for hip fracture pain before spinal anesthesia
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07624058Recruiting
Nerve Block Comparison for Gallbladder Surgery Pain
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (numbing injections near the spine) to see which one better reduces pain after minimally invasive gallbladder removal surgery. You would receive one of these pain-relief methods during surgery to help you feel more comfortable afterward.
AlexandriaAges 30–65 - NCT07629388Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests whether adding a nerve block (a numbing injection near the nerve) to the usual pain plan can better control pain after a total knee replacement. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07606794Recruiting
Hip Surgery Pain Relief Using Nerve Blocks
This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. The injections numb specific nerves around your hip so you need less pain medication after the operation.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–75 - NCT07589127Recruiting
Nerve Block for Pain Relief During Knee Replacement
This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
Hjelset, Møre og RomsdalAges 18–80 - NCT07550348Recruiting
Pain Relief Comparison for Lower Leg Surgery Nerve Block
This study compares two common numbing medications used together versus one alone for nerve-blocking surgery on the lower leg. Researchers want to see which approach works better and lasts longer for pain relief after your procedure.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07535697Recruiting
Pain relief methods after lung surgery: two approaches compared
This study compares two ways to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers test whether numbing the chest wall with ultrasound guidance works as well as numbing nerves seen during surgery to help you recover more comfortably.
Offenbach, HesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06765278Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for shoulder surgery pain relief
This trial compares three different types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy. The goal is to find which block works best for reducing pain and improving recovery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07477730Recruiting
Pain Relief Options for Knee Replacement Surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: local numbing medicine injected into the knee versus numbing several nerves in the leg. The goal is to find which method provides better pain control and recovery.
Toulouse, Haute-GaronneAges 18 years+ - NCT04729686RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block during hip replacement for less postoperative pain
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block given during planned hip replacement surgery can reduce pain afterward. It may help you use less opioid pain medicine, but you must meet certain safety and medication criteria.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07470021Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief after ankle surgery
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06809842Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after knee surgery
This study compares two nerve blocks—one to a muscle nerve and one to a skin nerve—to see which works better for pain after knee surgery. If you're having knee surgery, these blocks could help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Kafr ash Shaykh, KafrelsheikhAges 18 years+ - NCT07397234Recruiting
Awake breathing tube placement study
This study tests two ways to numb the neck for placing a breathing tube while you're awake. It might help if you have a difficult airway that makes regular intubation harder.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT05260125RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound-guided shoulder nerve block for stroke pain
This trial compares two ways to deliver a shoulder nerve block to relieve long-lasting shoulder pain after stroke: one guided by ultrasound and one without. It may help if your stroke-related shoulder pain has lasted at least a few months and you may benefit from a targeted pain-relief injection.
BoluAges 25–75 - NCT06852378Recruiting
Pain blocks for hip fracture surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief during hip fracture surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery after your procedure.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07346755Recruiting
Nerve block and shoulder awareness in stroke-related pain
This study tests whether a nerve block (freezing a nerve near the shoulder) combined with joint position testing can reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people who have had a stroke.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07330518Recruiting
Comparing two numbing techniques for lower tooth removal
This study compares two ways to numb the lower jaw for removing a back tooth: one blocks a small nerve near the cheek, the other blocks the main nerve trunk. The goal is to see which method works better and causes less discomfort.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nerve block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 222 recruiting nerve block 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 nerve block 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 nerve block 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.
