This study tests whether listening to music during a toe amputation (due to diabetic foot) can help you feel calmer and more relaxed. If you are scheduled for this surgery under spinal anesthesia and meet the simple criteria, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how well a numbing shot around the ankle (called an ankle block) works for pain after leg surgery. It compares people with and without diabetes to see if there are any differences in pain relief.
This trial looks at different anesthesia methods used during below-ankle amputations to see which works best. It may help guide better care for patients needing this surgery.
This trial tests a numbing medicine injected near a major leg nerve (femoral nerve) to see if it can reduce pain and improve function for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
This study tests a special numbing injection around the ankle (the 'FIT block') to see how well it controls pain after foot surgery. It may help you go home with less discomfort and fewer side effects.
This study tests which numbing medicine works faster for an ultrasound-guided ankle nerve block during foot surgery: mepivacaine or bupivacaine. It may help improve comfort by reducing how long it takes for the numbness to start.
