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 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 trial tests a new way to detect nerve block failure early during anesthesia for arm/hand surgery. It uses infrared temperature imaging and a sensor to check blood flow, aiming to improve safety and success of the anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way to numb the sciatic nerve for surgeries below the knee, like fixing ankle breaks or correcting toe deformities. It aims to see if it's safe and works well.
This study compares how well artificial intelligence and anesthesiologists can identify nerve locations using ultrasound before arm surgery. It helps test whether AI can accurately guide nerve-blocking injections that numb the arm during surgery.
