Recruiting studies
- NCT07354750Recruiting

Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture realignment
This study compares two ways to numb your arm before a doctor moves your broken wrist back into place: one is a nerve block (injection near the shoulder), and the other is a hematoma block (injection into the fracture site). The goal is to see which method works better for pain relief during the procedure.

Nerve block for upper abdominal cancer pain
This trial compares two nerve-block procedures to see which better relieves severe pain from cancers in the upper belly (like pancreas, stomach, liver, or bile duct). It may help if you have moderate to severe pain and are not pregnant or have certain medical conditions.
DhakaAges 18 years+ - NCT05953766RecruitingPhase 2
Nerve block versus sham block after hysterectomy
This trial compares a targeted pain-relief injection near the lower back (a “nerve block”) to a sham (placebo-like) procedure during recovery from a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to see whether the real block reduces post-operative pain.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07301476Recruiting
Testing numbing medicine spread in a knee block
This trial checks how a numbing medicine moves during a common knee block for surgery. It may help doctors improve pain control after knee operations.

Nerve blocks for pain control during mastectomy
This study tests two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07442188Recruiting
Comparing two numbing blocks for hernia surgery pain
This trial compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before hernia surgery to see which one works better for pain after the operation. The blocks target muscles around the belly area to help you feel less pain and recover more comfortably.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07458360Recruiting
Front block for better recovery after hip replacement
This study tests if a special nerve block called the front block (pericapsular nerve group block) improves recovery after hip replacement surgery. You may be eligible if you are having hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and do not have certain health issues.
KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07388953Recruiting
Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–80 - NCT06548646Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain relief after mastectomy
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (thoracic interfascial plane block vs. erector spinae plane block) to see which provides better pain relief after a mastectomy. It may help you have less pain and need fewer painkillers after surgery.
Cairo, AbbasiyaAges 21 years+ - NCT04397484RecruitingPhase 4
Compare two local anesthetics after foot nerve blocks
This study tests whether lidocaine or levobupivacaine works better for how a nerve block behaves after foot surgery. It may help doctors choose the anesthetic that provides more reliable pain control after surgery.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18–75 - NCT06473389Recruiting
A treatment for shoulder pain after stroke
This trial tests a treatment called suprascapular radiofrequency ablation (a targeted heat procedure) to help relieve shoulder pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have severe shoulder pain.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT06959056Recruiting
Cooling therapy for pain after double lung transplant
This test uses a special cooling treatment called cryo-analgesia to see if it helps reduce pain and speed up recovery after a double lung transplant. It is only for people with end-stage COPD getting a transplant at UZ Leuven.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05602636RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain options during forearm surgery
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
DamiettaAges 18–70 - NCT06461312Recruiting
Two nerve blocks for pudendal neuralgia pain relief
This study tests if combining two nerve blocks—one near the pudendal nerve and one at the ganglion impar—can better relieve chronic pelvic pain from pudendal neuralgia. The goal is to find a more effective treatment for people who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07745881Recruiting
Pain relief after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a nerve block that may reduce pain after surgery for lung cancer. It's a technique that numbs a specific area in the back to help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07577908Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Minimally Invasive Lung Surgery
This study compares two methods of numbing nerves to reduce pain after minimally invasive lung surgery (VATS). Researchers will test which approach works better for keeping you comfortable after your operation.
İzmitAges 18–80 - NCT07474896Recruiting
Nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery in older adults
This study tests whether certain nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling pain. It is for people 65 and older having planned shoulder surgery with regional anesthesia.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT05110989Recruiting
Registry study of pain relief after freezing intercostal nerves
This study collects real-world information about how well freezing (cryoablation) of the intercostal nerves helps with pain after a procedure. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for future patients.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 12 years+ - NCT06920186Recruiting
Extra nerve blocks for knee replacement pain
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a nerve block around the knee (adductor canal block), and the other adds an extra shot or nerve block. The goal is to see which approach works better for controlling pain and helping you recover.
Quincy-sous-SénartAges 18 years+ - NCT07542028Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Kidney Transplant Surgery
This study compares different pain management techniques during kidney transplant surgery. It aims to find the most effective way to control pain after your operation.

Comparing pain relief options for knee replacement surgery
This trial tests two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05868330RecruitingPhase 4
Compare two nerve-block methods for shoulder replacement
This trial compares two different ways of giving numbing medicine around the shoulder nerve before reverse shoulder replacement surgery. It may help find which method works better for pain control and comfort after surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nerve block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 226 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.
