Study of pain relief after elbow fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well different pain medicines work after surgery for a specific type of broken elbow bone. It may help find a safer, more comfortable pain-control plan while the fracture heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a closed, isolated supracondylar humerus fracture (a broken upper arm bone near the elbow) that is Type II or Type III.
- Your fracture was treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (a minimally invasive procedure using pins).
- You do NOT have nerve (neurologic) problems caused by the fracture.
- You do NOT have blood vessel (vascular) injury along with the fracture.
- You can use the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (a face-based pain rating).
- You are not allergic to acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or oxycodone, and you do not have other excluded situations like multiple injuries or a pathologic fracture.

This trial studies whether a pain-relief “nerve block” with medicine helps control pain after surgery for a particular type of elbow (humerus) fracture. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery, compared with standard pain control.
This trial tests a combination of non-opioid medications to manage pain after surgery for a broken bone, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of opioids. It may help you control pain without the risks of strong painkillers.
This study compares two ways to treat a certain type of broken elbow in adults over 65 who are not extremely active or frail. It tests if using a metal plate to fix the bone during surgery leads to better arm function and recovery than treating the injury without surgery.
This trial looks at how to manage a specific, usually less severe elbow fracture in children ages 3–8. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat “Type 1” supracondylar fractures that are not displaced.
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
This study focuses on displaced elbow (olecranon) fractures in older adults. It aims to compare how treatment timing and fracture type affect healing and recovery.
