Numbing methods for setting a broken wrist: nerve block vs hematoma block
This study compares two ways to numb your wrist before the doctor sets your broken bone: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around nerves) or a hematoma block (injecting numbing medicine into the fracture area).

Chuncheon, Gangwon-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06995352Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Better pain relief after ankle surgery
This trial compares two methods of pain management after ankle surgery: a one-time injection of long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) versus a continuous nerve block via a small tube (catheter) placed near the nerve. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06932835Recruiting
Pain relief after gallbladder surgery: TAP vs. M-TAPA block
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (TAP and M-TAPA) to see which one provides better pain relief after planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both blocks are injections of numbing medicine around your abdomen to help control pain after surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06964282Recruiting
Comparing Two Nerve Blocks for Hip Replacement Pain Relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (iliopsoas block and PENG block) to see which one provides better pain relief and recovery after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement with spinal anesthesia, you may be a good candidate.

Pain control plan after minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This trial tests a pain-control method (using an epidural/nerve pain-block through the back, called neuraxial anesthesia) for people having minimally invasive esophagus removal surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve comfort during recovery.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06620471Recruiting
Better nerve blocks with impedance testing
This study looks at whether adding impedance testing to ultrasound guidance improves accuracy for arm and leg nerve blocks. If you need a nerve block for surgery, this may help us learn how to make them safer and more effective.
Beirut, BeirutAges 18–90 - NCT06588777Recruiting
Two Nerve Blocks for Pain After Gallbladder Surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. If you take part, you will receive either an ultrasound-guided M-TAPA block or a quadratus lumborum block, and the researchers will measure how well each controls your pain.
CairoAges 21–71 - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06082206Recruiting
Nerve blocks to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral nerve block vs. paravertebral block) to see which one better prevents long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.
AsyutAges 20–65 - NCT07379866Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after tonsil removal in children
This trial tests if injecting numbing medicine near certain nerves in the head and neck can reduce pain after tonsil and adenoid surgery in children aged 5–13. It may help them recover more comfortably.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 5–13 - NCT06821516Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hip replacement pain

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.
