Nerve block for leg fracture surgery recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a broken tibia (shin bone) that needs surgery.
- Your injury is an isolated fracture (no other major injuries).
- You have not had a previous surgery on the same leg for this fracture.
- You don't have a history of anxiety, chronic pain, or long-term opioid use.
- You don't have kidney or liver disease, and you aren't allergic to common pain medicines.
- You are able to report your pain level on a scale after surgery.

This study tests whether a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected into the knee during surgery can help control pain for people with a specific type of shinbone fracture (tibial plateau fracture). If you are having surgery to fix this fracture, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (medicine to numb the leg) before surgery helps older adults recover better from a broken leg bone. If you are 50 or older and need surgery for a specific type of leg fracture, you may be eligible.
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
This study tests a nerve-blocking injection (numbing medicine around the femoral artery nerve in your groin area) to help reduce pain and blood pressure changes during below-knee fracture surgery when a tourniquet (pressure cuff) is used. The goal is to see if this approach makes surgery more comfortable and safer.
This trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
