Nerve-block pain options during forearm surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You are classified as ASAI-III (a mid-level health risk status used by the study)
- Your surgery is on the arm/hand/forearm below the elbow
- Your procedure is expected to use a tourniquet for more than 45 minutes
- You want regional anesthesia (numbing blocks in the arm) as your main anesthesia

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain control during and after clavicle fracture surgery. It may help patients have a smoother recovery with less pain.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to numb the arm for surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and fewer side effects during and after your procedure.
This study tests two ways of doing a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near nerves) to relieve pain during and after surgery on the arm or hand. The goal is to find out if adding a special nerve-stimulating tool can make the block work better and provide longer pain relief.
