Nerve block for neck, shoulder, and arm pain study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) for pain in the neck, shoulder, or arm. Researchers will check if it affects the size of the nerve sheath in your eye, which may show how well the block works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether Botox injected near nerves in the upper back can help reduce pain for people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in one arm or hand. The goal is to offer longer-lasting relief than standard treatments.
This trial tests whether a targeted back/neck numbing injection (an erector spinae block) can help reduce the amount of opioid pain medicine needed after posterior cervical spine surgery. It also aims to support an “enhanced recovery” pathway so patients may recover more comfortably and potentially faster.
This trial tests whether the position of patients during a nerve block (ESPB) affects pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to find the best way to give the block for better comfort after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve-blocking injection in the back muscles can relieve persistent back pain in people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine inflammation and stiffness). The injection targets specific nerves to reduce pain while your current disease treatment continues.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (erector spina plane block and thoracic paravertebral block) to see which provides better pain relief during and after chest surgery.
