Compare two add-on medicines for neck nerve block comfort
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares dexmedetomidine versus dexamethasone as “extra” medicines added to bupivacaine during an intermediate cervical plexus nerve block. It aims to see which add-on helps with pain control and smoother comfort after the procedure.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. It tests whether adding a common steroid (dexamethasone) to one block improves pain control.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a nerve block (an injection near the spine) can improve pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It is for people who are generally healthy and scheduled for a kidney stone procedure.
This study compares two medicines (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a nerve block for pain control during and after lower back surgery. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and the need for other painkillers.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone) added to a numbing drug (ropivacaine) for a nerve block in the collarbone area. The goal is to see which combination works faster and better for pain relief during upper limb surgery.
This study compares two extra medicines added to the standard numbing medication used for a nerve block during inguinal hernia repair. The goal is to see which medicine provides better pain relief after surgery, while you are under spinal anesthesia (numbness from the waist down).
This study compares two types of numbing medicine given through a nerve block before a mastectomy. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is a standard numbing medicine combined with a sedative (bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief after surgery.
