Numbing medicine comparison for wrist surgery pain
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for wrist surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
- You do not have any condition that makes a nerve block risky (like an allergy to the numbing medicine or an infection near the injection site).
- You do not have a nerve problem or neurological condition in your arm that could affect pain sensation.
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you had breast cancer and radiation at least a year ago, are not currently on active cancer treatment, and don't take blood thinners or daily strong pain pills.
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain when a broken wrist is realigned without surgery: a nerve block near the elbow vs. a numbing injection directly into the fracture. It may help researchers find which method works better and is more comfortable for you.
This study compares two ways to numb your wrist before the doctor sets your broken bone: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around nerves) or a hematoma block (injecting numbing medicine into the fracture area). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief during the procedure.
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief during and after the operation.
