Comparing two pain-relief methods after leg or foot surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different ways to manage pain after lower limb surgery: one is a medicine given with the spinal anesthetic, and the other is a medicine given through an IV. Both aim to keep you comfortable after surgery with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (any age between 18 and 60).
- You are having surgery on your leg, knee, foot, or hip (not involving general anesthesia).
- You can safely receive spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down).

This study compares two ways to manage pain after surgery for a leg injury: one uses a combination of medicines, and the other uses a nerve block (a shot that numbs the area). The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) added to a spinal numbing shot for people having planned leg or knee surgery. The goal is to see which one works better to keep your blood pressure stable, and to make the numbing last while keeping you comfortable.
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 trial tests two different pain medicines given after surgery to see which one helps patients recover better and feel better sooner. One is a tablet placed under the tongue, and the other is a standard opioid painkiller.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
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.
