Mixed local anesthetic for sciatic nerve block in leg surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different local anesthetics mixed together for a nerve block to numb the lower leg during surgery. It aims to improve pain relief after surgery for patients having below-knee procedures.

This study compares two different numbing medicines (chloroprocaine and ropivacaine) given as a spinal injection during planned C-sections. The goal is to see which one works faster and better for pain relief during surgery.
This study compares two common numbing medications used together versus one alone for nerve-blocking surgery on the lower leg. Researchers want to see which approach works better and lasts longer for pain relief after your procedure.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) for pain relief after lumbar spine surgery in patients aged 65 or older. The goal is to see which block provides better pain control, which may help you recover more comfortably.
This early study tests whether using ropivacaine (a local numbing medicine) in spinal anesthesia is safe and workable for certain lower back operations. If you qualify, it may help doctors refine anesthesia choices for your type of surgery.
This trial tests different combinations of two numbing medicines (lidocaine and bupivacaine) given through the spine to manage pain during lower limb surgery. The goal is to find which mixture works best and lasts longest.
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.
