This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
This study looks at how a person's body mass index (BMI) affects how well a numbing injection works for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. It aims to see if the block works equally well for people of different body sizes.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for forearm or hand surgery in people who are obese. One method places the numbing medicine near the collarbone from the front, and the other from behind the collarbone. The goal is to see which way works better.
This study compares two numbing methods for arm surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. It might help you have less pain during and after surgery.
