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 - 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+ - NCT07295184Recruiting

Testing a nerve block for gallbladder surgery pain
This study tests a special nerve block called M-TAPA to see if it helps control pain during and after gallbladder removal surgery. It might offer better pain relief with fewer side effects.

Testing a new device for knee, arm, or shoulder pain
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
Panama City, Provincia de PanamáAges 18–80 - NCT06784882RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous vs. single-injection nerve block for outpatient knee replacement
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after total knee replacement. You will receive either a one-time injection or a continuous block that delivers medication through a small tube. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief while allowing you to go home the same day.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07354750Recruiting
Parasternal block for pain in pediatric heart surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block given before a heart surgery incision reduces the need for pain medicine during the operation in children aged 6 months to 7 years having their first heart surgery through the breastbone.
AnkaraAges 6 months–7 years - 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 - 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 - NCT07603323Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Meniscus Knee Surgery
This study compares two different numbing techniques (ACB and ACB combined with BiFeS) to see which one better controls pain after meniscus surgery. The meniscus is cartilage in your knee that can tear and cause pain.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06069154Enrolling by invitation
Freezing nerves for rib fracture pain
This study tests a procedure called cryoneurolysis, which uses cold to temporarily freeze nerves near broken ribs to relieve pain. It is for adults who have 1 to 6 recently broken ribs with at least moderate pain and are already getting a nerve block injection.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05487053Recruiting
Nerve block type test after knee replacement
This study compares two pain-control methods for the leg after a total knee replacement: a single injection versus a continuous nerve-block catheter. It aims to see which option helps people recover and do rehab better.

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 - NCT07049094RecruitingPhase 4
Scalp nerve block for pain after brain surgery
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposomes) injected into scalp nerves can reduce pain after brain surgery. It may help you need less pain medicine and feel better after your operation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for peripheral nerve block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 54 recruiting peripheral 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 peripheral 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 peripheral 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.
