Continuous vs bolus pain medication through nerve catheter
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of delivering numbing pain medicine through a nerve catheter after surgery: a steady infusion versus scheduled bolus doses. It aims to see which method works better and is easier to use for post-operative pain control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) having a nerve block catheter placed for post-surgery pain
- Your health status is mild to moderate (ASA I, II, or III, as your clinician rates it)
- You are not pregnant
- Your pre-surgery opioid use is 30 mg or less (measured as “morphine-equivalent” per day)
- You do not have nerve pain or numbness (neuropathy) in the arm or leg being operated on
- You can talk with the study team by phone to answer questions

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.
This trial compares two medications added to a numbing injection around your abdominal muscles during belly surgery to help manage pain after surgery. The study aims to find which combination works better and lasts longer.
This study tests if adding a nerve stimulation device to a standard nerve block provides better pain relief after below-knee amputation. You may be eligible if you are having this surgery and do not have certain other medical conditions.
This study compares two ways of delivering pain medicine through an IV pump (called PCA) after surgery. One method gives a steady dose, and the other slowly reduces the dose. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
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.
This study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) for pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery). Researchers want to see which method is easier and works better for reducing pain.
