Nerve block for lower leg surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to numb the lower leg for surgery using a nerve block. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for pain relief during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery on one leg below the knee, such as for a broken ankle or foot bone, or for foot correction surgery.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You do not have any nerve damage, infection, or bleeding problems that would make a nerve block unsafe.
- You have not had prior surgery or significant scarring in the area where the needle would be inserted.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not been using opioid pain medications chronically.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after surgery for a leg injury: one uses a combination of medicines, and the other uses a nerve block (a shot that numbs the area). The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
This trial tests if an ultrasound-guided nerve block can provide better pain relief for sciatica compared to standard care. If you have severe leg pain from sciatica, this study might help you find effective pain control.
This study compares two common numbing medications used together versus one alone for nerve-blocking surgery on the lower leg. Researchers want to see which approach works better and lasts longer for pain relief after your procedure.
This study compares two ways of giving a nerve block (fascia iliaca block) to help with positioning for spinal anesthesia and pain relief after lower leg surgery. The goal is to see which method works better for making patients more comfortable.
This study tests a new numbing injection (called a parasacral ischial plane block) to see how well it controls pain during and after surgery on the lower leg, ankle, or foot. If you are having this type of planned surgery, this injection might reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
