Fentanyl in IV regional anesthesia for hand surgery pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways of giving pain medicine during hand surgery. One group gets fentanyl through an IV drip, the other gets fentanyl mixed with lidocaine in a special numbing arm block. The goal is to see which method controls pain better.

This trial tests different combinations of numbing medicines injected around the wrist before hand surgery. The goal is to find which mix provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether adding two different medications (dexmedetomidine or nalbuphine) to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can improve pain relief during and after upper limb surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a new way to manage pain after hand surgery using local anesthetics (numbing medicine) and blood-clotting agents instead of opioid painkillers. It may help reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable after surgery.
This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
This trial tests a pain-relief method combining a nerve block in the chest with fentanyl (a strong pain medicine) given through the spine for children aged 6 months to 6 years having heart surgery. The goal is to see if this approach works better and reduces the need for other strong pain medicines after surgery.
This trial compares two pain medicines given as a nerve block during upper arm or hand surgery. It aims to see which one works better and is safer. If you are having surgery for a burn, a reattached finger, or a broken arm or hand bone, you may qualify.
