Peripheral neurostimulation for improving nerve block placement in upper limb surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at using peripheral neurostimulation to improve the placement of nerve blocks for upper limb surgery. It may help you get better pain control during and after your operation.

- Be scheduled for elective upper limb surgery with a planned brachial plexus nerve block
- Not have certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders, infections, or significant neuropathy

This trial tests how well two types of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) devices relieve chronic pain caused by a single nerve injury. It looks for people who already have a referral for PNS therapy as part of their usual care and who have gotten at least 50% relief from a diagnostic nerve block.
This study tests if adding a nerve stimulation device to a standard nerve block provides better pain relief after below-knee amputation. You may be eligible if you are having this surgery and do not have certain other medical conditions.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay comfortable.
This trial tests whether stimulating the nerve roots in the shoulder area can reduce long-lasting nerve pain in one arm. It may help people whose arm pain has not improved with standard nerve-pain treatments.
This trial tests whether a high-frequency spinal cord stimulator can reduce long-term nerve pain in the arm after a brachial plexus injury. It may help people whose pain has lasted at least 3 months despite standard treatments.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, placed in your neck for chronic pain, can also improve arm and hand function after nerve transfer surgery. It may help people who have already had the surgery and therapy but still have weakness.
