Compare two local anesthetics after foot nerve blocks
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether lidocaine or levobupivacaine works better for how a nerve block behaves after foot surgery. It may help doctors choose the anesthetic that provides more reliable pain control after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult having planned elective surgery on the front part of the foot (forefoot).
- Your surgery is planned using regional anesthesia (a targeted numbing nerve block), not general anesthesia.
- Your overall health category is ASA I, II, or III (most people with mild to moderate health issues).
- You are willing to participate (you have not refused the study).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any of these exclusions: a neuromuscular disorder, bleeding/clotting problems (coagulopathy), allergy to local anesthetic medicines, a prior surgery in the popliteal area behind the knee, or a skin infection where the needle would go.

This study tests which numbing medicine works faster for an ultrasound-guided ankle nerve block during foot surgery: mepivacaine or bupivacaine. It may help improve comfort by reducing how long it takes for the numbness to start.
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 study tests two different local anesthetics mixed together for a nerve block to numb the lower leg during surgery. It aims to improve pain relief after surgery for patients having below-knee procedures.
This trial tests two different nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after hip surgery. Both are used alongside spinal anesthesia to help manage pain after the procedure.
This study compares two different pain-block methods used during total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better pain relief. The goal is to help patients have less pain and a better recovery after 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.
