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 compares how well artificial intelligence and anesthesiologists can identify nerve locations using ultrasound before arm surgery. It helps test whether AI can accurately guide nerve-blocking injections that numb the arm during surgery.
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 trial tests a new way to detect nerve block failure early during anesthesia for arm/hand surgery. It uses infrared temperature imaging and a sensor to check blood flow, aiming to improve safety and success of the anesthesia.
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 trial tests whether measuring skin temperature and blood flow can quickly tell if a nerve block for arm surgery has failed. It might help patients receive prompt additional pain relief.
This study compares two different arm positions (90 degrees versus 120 degrees) during a nerve-blocking injection that numbs your arm before hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. Researchers want to see which position works better for the anesthesia and helps you recover safely.
