Liposomal bupivacaine vs ropivacaine for arm surgery pain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 2 years old or older.
- You are having surgery for a burn, reattached finger, or broken bone in your arm, hand, or wrist.
- You will get either a numbing nerve block plus general anesthesia, or general anesthesia alone.
- You are in good health or have mild to moderate health problems (ASA class I, II, or III).
- You can cooperate with the procedure and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine dose based on the size of your nerves (measured by ultrasound) works as well as the standard dose for arm surgery. It could help tailor the amount of medicine you receive.
This study is for people having hand or forearm surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) that works well to block pain during the procedure.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the back muscles can provide better pain relief after open upper belly surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for other painkillers.
This trial tests whether mixing the numbing medicine bupivacaine with sugar water (dextrose) or salt water (saline) affects how well a nerve block works for upper arm surgery. The goal is to find which mixture provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) works better than standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for pain after shoulder surgery. Both are given as nerve blocks to help you stay comfortable during recovery.
