Watching injection pressure during arm nerve block
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors find the right spot for a numbing injection (nerve block) in your arm using ultrasound. If you're having surgery on your arm, this might help make the block more accurate and effective.
This study tests a new way to quickly tell if a nerve block (numbing of the arm) is working before surgery. It uses a special camera to measure heat and a sensor on your finger to check blood flow, which may help your doctors give you better pain relief.
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.
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.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. It aims to find which method provides better pain relief during and after the operation.
This trial compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for obese patients having surgery on or below the elbow. The goal is to find which approach works best for this group.
