This trial tests a nerve block to help with pain during and after upper arm surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for patients.
This trial tests a special type of nerve block (called variable volume truncal block) for pain relief during arm, elbow, forearm, hand, or wrist surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for forearm or hand surgery in people who are obese. One method places the numbing medicine near the collarbone from the front, and the other from behind the collarbone. The goal is to see which way works better.
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 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 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.
