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 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks (subcoracoid tunnel block and costoclavicular block) to see which works better for numbing the arm during surgery. If you are having a short surgery on your lower arm, hand, or wrist, this trial may help find the most effective pain relief.
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 compares two ways to numb the arm for surgery from the elbow down to the hand. Both methods use an ultrasound to guide the numbing medicine, but one also uses a small device (nerve stimulator) to help find the right spot. The goal is to see if adding the nerve stimulator leads to better pain relief during and after surgery.
This study compares two different arm positions (90 degrees versus 120 degrees) during a nerve-blocking injection that numbs your arm before hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. Researchers want to see which position works better for the anesthesia and helps you recover safely.
