Nerve block study: checking for rare side effects
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches for unexpected nerve-related side effects after a single nerve block injection. It aims to find out how often these events happen and what might make them more likely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to receive a single-shot nerve block (a one-time injection to numb a specific area) during your procedure.
- You are not receiving more than one nerve block in the same body area or nerve pathway during the same procedure.
- You will not have a catheter (small tube) placed for continuous nerve block.
- You can understand and communicate in the language used by the study team.
- You are able to give written permission (informed consent) to participate.

This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
This study tests how well a nerve-numbing injection (called a QL block) relieves pain. Researchers will measure how quickly the pain relief works and how long it lasts, which could help doctors use this technique better in the future.
This study compares a “numbing shot” in the back (erector spinae block) against a placebo shot to see which better reduces pain. If you’re having a planned day surgery, it may help improve your comfort after the operation.
This trial tests a nerve block (an injection to numb a specific area) combined with general anesthesia during surgery. It may help children recover with less pain and fewer side effects from strong pain medicines.
This study monitors the pressure used while giving a nerve block (numbing shot) in the armpit area for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure monitoring can help make the block safer and more comfortable.
This study looks at whether adding impedance testing to ultrasound guidance improves accuracy for arm and leg nerve blocks. If you need a nerve block for surgery, this may help us learn how to make them safer and more effective.
