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+ - NCT06999434RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new PET scan for nerve coating damage
