Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain when a broken wrist is realigned without surgery: a nerve block near the elbow vs. a numbing injection directly into the fracture. It may help researchers find which method works better and is more comfortable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your injury happened less than 7 days ago.
- Your doctor plans to realign the bones without surgery (closed reduction).
- You are being treated at San Ignacio University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.

This trial studies an injection called a “hematoma block” to numb pain from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It may help reduce pain while you’re in the emergency department.
This study compares two ways to numb your wrist before the doctor sets your broken bone: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around nerves) or a hematoma block (injecting numbing medicine into the fracture area). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief during the procedure.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
This trial studies whether a pain-relief “nerve block” with medicine helps control pain after surgery for a particular type of elbow (humerus) fracture. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery, compared with standard pain control.
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 study tracks how well nerve blocks—injections that numb a specific area—relieve pain in adults who come to the emergency room with a broken bone. It aims to see if this approach helps control pain better, so you may get quicker, more effective relief while being treated for your fracture.
