Nerve-block pain relief after a specific elbow bone fracture
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single, closed fracture of the outer part of the upper elbow bone (lateral condyle humerus)
- The fracture matches Weiss type II or III, with more than 2 mm of bone displacement
- Your fracture is being treated with surgery called open reduction and percutaneous pinning using pins/screws for fixation
- The fracture should not be open (no wound through the skin) and you should not have nerve or blood vessel problems from the injury
- You must not have a history of allergy to ropivacaine or oxycodone and you must be able to complete a faces pain rating scale after treatment

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.
This study looks at using a nerve block to manage pain from broken bones in the emergency room. It may help if you have a fracture that causes significant pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain when a broken wrist is realigned without surgery: a nerve block near the elbow vs. a numbing injection directly into the fracture. It may help researchers find which method works better and is more comfortable for you.
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block can reduce pain after a hip socket surgery. The results could help improve recovery and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
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 trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
