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 compares a numbing injection near the spine (called an erector spinae block) to a placebo (fake) injection, to see if it helps reduce pain after breast surgery. If you're having a day surgery on your breast, this could help improve how you feel during recovery.
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 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 tests a numbing injection around a nerve in the wrist to see how it affects blood flow and sensation in the hand. It may help doctors understand how to treat hand pain or circulation problems.
This study tests whether giving multiple nerve blocks (numbing injections near nerves) during off-pump heart bypass surgery can improve your recovery and pain control. It aims to see if these blocks help you feel better and recover faster after surgery.
