Finding the Right Dose of Ropivacaine for Arm Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study is for people having hand or forearm surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) that works well to block pain during the procedure.

This trial tests if using an ultrasound to measure the size of your nerve before surgery can help doctors give you the right amount of numbing medicine, which may mean a more effective block with fewer side effects.
This study is testing different amounts and strengths of a numbing medicine called ropivacaine to find the best dose for blocking pain in the lower body during surgery. It may help patients need less pain medicine after surgery.
This study tests different strengths of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) used in an ankle block for foot surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that starts working quickly and lasts the right amount of time for pain relief after bunion repair.
This study compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone) added to a numbing drug (ropivacaine) for a nerve block in the collarbone area. The goal is to see which combination works faster and better for pain relief during upper limb surgery.
This trial tests different volumes of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) injected around the shoulder nerves before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to find the dose that provides the best pain relief.
This trial studies how different doses of ropivacaine (a numbing medicine given into the spine) affect comfort and safety during an elective C-section in taller, otherwise healthy adults. It may help anesthesiologists choose the right dose for this specific body-size group.
