Better pain relief after ankle surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be having a moderate to severely painful ankle surgery on one side
- Weigh more than 110 pounds (50 kg)
- Plan to receive a specific type of nerve block for the surgery

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after total knee replacement. You will receive either a one-time injection or a continuous block that delivers medication through a small tube. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief while allowing you to go home the same day.
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 study looks at how well a numbing injection around the ankle controls pain after surgery, and whether it works differently for people with diabetes compared to those without. If you're having foot or ankle surgery and are willing to provide your medical data, this could help improve pain management for patients like you.
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 compares two methods of numbing pain—an injection near the joint versus a nerve block—during ankle or hindfoot surgery. It aims to see which approach helps with comfort and recovery after surgery.
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
