Comparing two pain relievers added to a nerve block for arm surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding two different medications (dexmedetomidine or nalbuphine) to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) can improve pain relief during and after upper limb surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and reduce side effects.

This study tests two different pain-relief medicines added to a numbing shot (nerve block) given during hysterectomy surgery. The goal is to see which one works better so you can have less pain after your operation.
This trial tests two different drugs (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a standard nerve block for knee replacement. It aims to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone, to the numbing shot around the arm's nerves can improve pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to lidocaine works better for numbing the arm during surgery. Patients get numbing medicine through a special IV in the arm while the surgery is happening.
