Nerve Block for Pain Relief During Breast Reduction Surgery
This study tests a special numbing technique (pectoral block) to help control pain after breast reduction surgery in women with very large breasts causing symptoms like neck, shoulder, or back pain. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces pain better than standard pain control methods.

Pain-block injection for headache after brain bleed
This study tests a pain-block injection (called a PPF-block) for severe headaches after a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). It compares the injection to standard pain medicine to see if it reduces headache and the need for opioids.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT07657949Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after breast reduction surgery
This trial tests a specific nerve block to see if it can reduce pain after breast reduction surgery, possibly helping with recovery and lowering the need for strong painkillers.
Sivas, SivasAges 18–65 - NCT07372430Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for buttock nerve pain
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (nerve block) to treat a condition where a nerve in the low back gets pinched, causing long-term buttock or low back pain. It aims to see which method works better.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07666646Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for lung function after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better preserves lung function after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help patients recover breathing ability more quickly after surgery.
Kayseri, KocasinanAges 18–70 - NCT06904703Recruiting
Nerve blocks for older adults having hip replacement surgery
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control in older adults undergoing total hip replacement. A nerve block is a shot of anesthetic near a nerve to numb a specific area, and the goal is to help you feel less pain after surgery.
TantaAges 75 years+ - NCT07826936RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve block for severe abdominal pain in the emergency department
This trial tests whether a nerve block can provide better pain relief for severe abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard pain medicine. It's for people who are not candidates for surgery and are in the emergency department or already in the hospital.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05968261Recruiting
Remote coaching for regional anesthesia procedures
This study tests a “near-remote” teaching/coaching approach to help clinicians perform regional anesthesia blocks safely and effectively. You might be able to take part if you’re an adult patient who needs a surgery or injury treatment where a regional block could be used, and you can consent in English.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07288983Recruiting
Pain blocks after hip surgery: testing three approaches
This trial compares three different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It may help older adults with moderate health status who are having hip surgery.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07704970Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in robotic kidney surgery
This trial tests a special nerve block called QLESP to control pain after robotic partial kidney removal. It may reduce the need for strong pain medicines and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07302997Recruiting
Watching injection pressure during arm nerve block
This study monitors the pressure used while giving a nerve block (numbing shot) in the armpit area for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure monitoring can help make the block safer and more comfortable.
BellinzonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06570577Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after cervical spine surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block can reduce the need for opioid pain medication after back-of-neck spine surgery. It may help patients have better pain control with fewer side effects.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05461092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve blocks to improve pain control after spinal fusion
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT07796074RecruitingPhase 2
Nerve block injection for veterans with headache after head injury
This trial tests a nerve block injection to see if it can reduce headaches in veterans who have had a head injury and continue to have headaches for at least three months. It may offer a new way to help manage persistent post-injury headaches.
West Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05672784Recruiting
Knee numbing injections during knee replacement surgery
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
ZagazigAges 21–60 - NCT07441902Recruiting
Numbing medicine for lung surgery pain relief
This trial tests whether a numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the ribs can reduce pain after lung surgery. If you qualify, you may experience less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06841822Recruiting
Nerve blocks for lung surgery: a study on heart function
This trial tests if a special ultrasound-guided nerve block can help keep your heart and blood pressure stable during the start of lung surgery. It may lead to a safer and more comfortable experience.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04699734Recruiting
Nerve block for nerve pain from diabetes
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
Aarhus N, JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07810452Recruiting
Numbing methods for baby tooth nerve treatment
This study tests different numbing methods to stop bleeding during a dental procedure (pulpotomy) on baby molars. It aims to find the most effective technique to improve comfort and outcomes for children.
Afyonkarahisar, AfyonkarahisarAges 6–9 - NCT07773155RecruitingPhase 4
Pain control after hand or wrist surgery: nerve block with or without ketorolac
This study tests two different pain relief methods after hand or wrist surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus an anti-inflammatory medication called ketorolac. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07717229Recruiting
Biofeedback and VR for kids during dental injections
This trial tests if a video game-like biofeedback tool (BrightHearts) or virtual reality can help children feel calmer during a numbing injection for dental work. It may be a good fit for healthy kids ages 7–12 who need a shot in the lower jaw.
GizaAges 7–12 - NCT07709975Recruiting
Pain relief and early movement for older ICU patients
This study tests different ways to manage pain and help older patients get moving again sooner after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and in the ICU, this trial may help you recover more comfortably and quickly.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT07659145Recruiting
Simulation training for ultrasound-guided nerve block in students
This trial tests if a simulation-based training program helps medical students learn how to perform an ultrasound-guided nerve block (a numbing injection near the sciatic nerve). If you're a medical student, you may join to practice and improve your skills.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nerve block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 221 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.
