Medication injection to prevent pain after arm surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a nerve block injection to reduce pain after the block wears off. This could help patients who have arm surgery for a broken bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection around shoulder nerves can improve pain control after laparoscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the numbing medication alone.
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 two different methods for numbing the arm (infraclavicular block) before upper extremity surgery. It aims to find out which approach works better to block pain.
This trial tests if adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to a nerve block shot can reduce the severe pain that often returns after shoulder surgery. You will receive either a single injection or a continuous flow of pain medicine through a small tube.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay comfortable.
