This study compares two techniques for giving spinal anesthesia, which numbs the lower body during surgery. The goal is to see if one method causes fewer headaches after the procedure. If you qualify, you might help improve care for future patients.
This study tests whether using an ultrasound device helps doctors place spinal or epidural anesthesia more accurately. If you're scheduled for this type of anesthesia, you might be able to participate and receive extra guidance during the procedure to improve safety and comfort.
This study tests a new way to give spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected in your back) for prostate surgery. It uses ultrasound to measure the fluid space around your spinal cord to find the right dose, which may make the anesthesia safer and more effective.
This study compares two ways to give spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected into your back) for lower abdominal cancer surgery. One method uses touch and landmarks on your back, and the other uses an ultrasound device to guide the needle. The goal is to see which approach provides safer and more effective pain control during and after surgery.
This study compares two ways to find the right spot on your back for the numbing injection before a planned cesarean.
