Local anesthetic catheter to reduce tourniquet-related blood pressure spikes
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 4 trial tests whether a local anesthetic catheter placed near a nerve and artery can prevent high blood pressure caused by a tourniquet during total ankle replacement surgery. If it works, it may make recovery safer and more comfortable for some patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 to 75
- Have total ankle replacement surgery
- Be able to speak English and understand pain score questions
- Be ASA class 1 to 3 (a generally healthier surgical risk level)
- Do not have an infection where the anesthetic catheter would be placed

This study tests a nerve-blocking injection (numbing medicine around the femoral artery nerve in your groin area) to help reduce pain and blood pressure changes during below-knee fracture surgery when a tourniquet (pressure cuff) is used. The goal is to see if this approach makes surgery more comfortable and safer.
This study compares two numbing medicines given during ankle replacement surgery to see which one works better for controlling pain after the operation. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain pills afterward.
This trial compares two methods to control bleeding during ankle surgery. One uses a diluted medicine to constrict blood vessels, the other uses a tourniquet. The goal is to see which method gives the surgeon a clearer view.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection near the thigh) combined with a tourniquet (pressure cuff) after knee replacement surgery reduces pain better than standard care. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
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 trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
