Nerve block for Achilles tendon repair surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a nerve block in the back of the knee improves pain control after surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. It may help you recover more comfortably as a day surgery patient.

This trial compares two methods of pain management after ankle surgery: a one-time injection of long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) versus a continuous nerve block via a small tube (catheter) placed near the nerve. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
This trial tests if a nerve block given during surgery for a broken tibia (shin bone) can reduce pain after the operation. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one that numbs the front of the thigh and one that adds extra numbing behind the knee—to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery (like ACL or PCL repair). The goal is to help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial is testing whether combining two types of nerve blocks (one in the back of the knee and one in the thigh) can better manage pain after lower leg surgery in children with cerebral palsy, compared to standard care.
This study tests a new way to numb the lower leg for surgery using a nerve block. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for pain relief during and after surgery.
