Spinal anesthesia needle angles study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at the best angle for inserting the needle during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors find a more comfortable and effective way to give the numbing medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a different way of injecting numbing medicine before placing an epidural can help the epidural catheter go in more smoothly for women in labor. If you are requesting an epidural for pain relief, are between 18 and 40, have a single baby in a head-down position, and are in active labor, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of needles used for spinal anesthesia to see if one type causes less pressure change around the optic nerve. If you are having lower leg or knee surgery with a tourniquet and are generally healthy, this study may be for you.
This trial tests two different ways to inject spinal anesthesia—through the middle or the side of the back—to see which causes fewer headaches afterward. If you're having orthopedic or urology surgery with spinal anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
This study compares using an ultrasound machine versus feeling the back by hand to find the best spot for the spinal anesthesia needle during a planned C-section. It aims to see which method is more accurate and could make the procedure more comfortable.
This study compares two methods (ASIS line vs. Tuffier's line) to find the right spot on the lower back for spinal anesthesia or ultrasound. It helps doctors more accurately locate the spine for procedures.
