Better nerve blocks with impedance testing
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding impedance testing to ultrasound guidance improves accuracy for arm and leg nerve blocks. If you need a nerve block for surgery, this may help us learn how to make them safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have no infection where the injection goes.
- You can give written consent and communicate easily with doctors.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have no severe medical issues that make a nerve block risky.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study monitors the pressure used while giving a nerve block (numbing shot) in the armpit area for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure monitoring can help make the block safer and more comfortable.
This study tests a new way to quickly tell if a nerve block (numbing of the arm) is working before surgery. It uses a special camera to measure heat and a sensor on your finger to check blood flow, which may help your doctors give you better pain relief.
This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
This study tests a new way to numb the lower leg for surgery using a nerve block. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for pain relief during and after surgery.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors find the right spot for a numbing injection (nerve block) in your arm using ultrasound. If you're having surgery on your arm, this might help make the block more accurate and effective.
