Testing how fasting affects outcomes in certain hand procedures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether fasting before a specific hand surgery done with local numbing medicine (and without a tourniquet) changes patient outcomes. It may help explain how to prepare for this type of procedure and what fasting rules are safest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how fasting before anesthesia affects recovery for people having procedures. Researchers want to understand what happens to patients when they have nothing to eat or drink before anesthesia.
This trial tests whether not eating before a procedure (called preoperative fasting) is better than fasting in ICU patients who are already receiving tube feedings. It aims to find out if skipping the fast can help you without causing extra risks.
This trial studies whether playing music during a “wide-awake” hand surgery helps comfort or experience during the procedure. You may be offered music while you’re awake and having local numbing medicine.
This study looks at whether the length of time you fast before surgery can affect your blood pressure after you are put to sleep. The goal is to help doctors manage blood pressure better during operations.
This trial tests a program to reduce how long patients must fast before elective surgery. Shorter fasting may make patients more comfortable and could help recovery.
This study looks at whether how long you fast before and after surgery affects your risk of delirium (sudden confusion) afterward. If you are having surgery and can stay in the hospital for at least 3 days, you may be able to join.
