Pain relief after upper limb surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block to general anesthesia improves pain control and recovery after arm or hand surgery. If you are having surgery on your arm, hand, or fingers, this may help you manage pain with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older

This study tests whether using a slightly different arm position (at a 120° angle instead of the usual 90°) makes a nerve block for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery more effective and safer. If you are having surgery on your arm or hand, this could help improve your pain control.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This study tests two ways of doing a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near nerves) to relieve pain during and after surgery on the arm or hand. The goal is to find out if adding a special nerve-stimulating tool can make the block work better and provide longer pain relief.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay comfortable.
This study tests whether adding different medications to a numbing injection can reduce pain that returns after the injection wears off. It may help people having surgery for a broken arm or hand.
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or nalbuphine to a standard numbing medicine improves pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery. It aims to see which combination works better and lasts longer.
