Testing two anesthesia types for arm surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of numbing the arm and chest area during upper-extremity surgery. It may help you and your care team choose the option that works best and feels easiest for breathing and movement.

This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
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 compares two numbing methods for arm surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. It might help you have less pain during and after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during and after Bankart or Latarjet shoulder surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and preserves arm strength.
This study tests whether using a slightly different arm position (at a 120° angle instead of the usual 90°) makes a nerve block for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery more effective and safer. If you are having surgery on your arm or hand, this could help improve your pain control.
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.
