Comparing two nerve blocks for arm surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (subcoracoid tunnel block and costoclavicular block) to see which works better for numbing the arm during surgery. If you are having a short surgery on your lower arm, hand, or wrist, this trial may help find the most effective pain relief.
