Nerve function and block success in people with uremia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how kidney failure (uremia) affects the nerves in the arm and whether it changes how well a nerve block works for hand or forearm surgery. If you have uremia and are planning such surgery, joining this trial may help doctors tailor anesthesia to your needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have uremia and need hemodialysis (or you are having hand/forearm surgery without uremia)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 29.9
- You are scheduled for forearm or hand surgery
- You can sign a consent form agreeing to participate

This trial tests a procedure that uses energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidney, which may help improve heart failure symptoms. It is for people with heart failure who are already on the best available medicines but still have symptoms.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a medicine that reduces nerve signals (“sympatholysis”) is safe and how it affects people with chronic kidney disease. It may help researchers understand new ways to protect the kidneys, but the main goal here is safety.
This study tests a device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear to see if it can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The device is non-invasive and may improve how your body handles kidney-related issues.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulation technique (100 Hz tetanic stimulation) to see if it can help monitor muscle function during anesthesia. It might help doctors make sure patients are properly relaxed during surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to numb the arm during AV fistula creation for dialysis. Both aim to reduce pain, and the goal is to see which one works better. If you're having this surgery, the blocks may help you stay comfortable during and after the procedure.
This trial tests a mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your arm to help repair a recently damaged median or ulnar nerve (nerves that control hand movement). It might help your hand function recover better after surgery or injury.
