Recruiting studies
- NCT06785350Recruiting
Smallest effective steroid dose for spine surgery pain
This study tests whether a very small amount of a steroid (betamethasone) placed around the surgical cut can help control pain after spine surgery. It aims to find the lowest dose that still works well, so patients may need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07509866Recruiting
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 - NCT06185608Recruiting
Ropivacaine strength and effect in ankle block for foot surgery
This study tests different strengths of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) used in an ankle block for foot surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that starts working quickly and lasts the right amount of time for pain relief after bunion repair.
Genk, LimburgAges 18–75 - NCT07023094RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two nerve blocks for kids' hip surgery
This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for children having hip surgery. One uses a PENG block with LFCB, the other an ESP block; the goal is to see which provides better pain control.

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - NCT05824338RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing ropivacaine spinal anesthesia for lower back surgery
This early study tests whether using ropivacaine (a local numbing medicine) in spinal anesthesia is safe and workable for certain lower back operations. If you qualify, it may help doctors refine anesthesia choices for your type of surgery.
New Westminster, British ColumbiaAges 19–80 - NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07603921Recruiting
Local Pain Relief Injection During Lung Surgery
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06636578RecruitingPhase 4
Adding dexmedetomidine to pain block for heart surgery
This study tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a standard pain-blocking injection (ropivacaine) used during heart surgery. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and speeds recovery better than the injection alone.
Al FayyumAges 20–65 - NCT06779396RecruitingPhase 4
Scalp injection to reduce pain after brain surgery in children
This trial tests if injecting a mix of two medicines (triamcinolone and ropivacaine) into the scalp before brain surgery can lower pain in children afterward. It compares this to standard care to see if it helps kids recover more comfortably.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 2–12 - NCT07209345Recruiting
Scalp pain relief after brain surgery
This trial tests whether numbing the scalp before brain surgery can reduce pain afterward. You would receive a painkiller injection in your scalp before your surgery begins.
BeijingAges 18–64 - NCT07290595RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two medicines for faster nerve block in arm surgery
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone) added to a numbing drug (ropivacaine) for a nerve block in the collarbone area. The goal is to see which combination works faster and better for pain relief during upper limb surgery.
Sāhīwāl, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06520306Enrolling by invitation
Ropivacaine with methylene blue for hip surgery pain
This trial tests if adding different amounts of methylene blue to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) can improve pain relief, thinking ability, and hip movement after hip replacement surgery.
TaizhouAges 60–85 - NCT07076368RecruitingPhase 3
Ropivacaine and Fentanyl for Labor Pain Relief
This study tests two common pain medicines, ropivacaine and fentanyl, for women in labor who request an epidural. It aims to understand the best way to start labor pain relief with an epidural.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07626489Recruiting
Numbing injection to reduce pain after lung surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06376058Recruiting
Comparing two numbing medicines for planned C-sections
This study compares two different numbing medicines (chloroprocaine and ropivacaine) given as a spinal injection during planned C-sections. The goal is to see which one works faster and better for pain relief during surgery.
