Nerve pain after ankle fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) after breaking their ankle and having surgery. If you have an ankle fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join and help researchers understand this type of pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You have a broken ankle that needs surgery (a specific type called rotational ankle fracture)
- You have no other serious injuries (score less than 3 on a scale for non-leg body parts)
- You can speak, read, and understand English
- You did not have chronic pain or take certain pain medicines (like gabapentin or opioids) before your injury

This study looks at nerve pain in children and teens who had an amputation before a certain age. It aims to understand how common and how severe this pain is after amputation, and uses simple questionnaires to find out.
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
This study looks at how well patients recover 5 to 7 days after ankle surgery. It aims to understand common experiences and improve care for people having ankle procedures.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
This trial compares two different anesthesia methods (nerve blocks vs. general anesthesia) to see which helps people recover faster after ankle surgery. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one method, and the study will track your pain, side effects, and how quickly you can go home.
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
