Testing a new nerve block catheter for leg amputation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to secure a nerve block catheter for pain relief during and after a planned leg amputation above the knee. If you are scheduled for this procedure, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) leg amputation above the knee
- You are able and willing to give your written permission to join the trial
- You do not have a known allergy to numbing medicines (local anesthetics)

This trial tests a new way to numb the sciatic nerve for surgeries below the knee, like fixing ankle breaks or correcting toe deformities. It aims to see if it's safe and works well.
This trial checks how a numbing medicine moves during a common knee block for surgery. It may help doctors improve pain control after knee operations.
This study tests if adding a nerve stimulation device to a standard nerve block provides better pain relief after below-knee amputation. You may be eligible if you are having this surgery and do not have certain other medical conditions.
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 a new nerve surgery technique to help people with above-knee leg amputations have better control of their prosthetic leg. The goal is to improve how well the prosthesis responds to your movements.
This trial compares two methods of pain management after ankle surgery: a one-time injection of long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) versus a continuous nerve block via a small tube (catheter) placed near the nerve. The goal is to find which approach provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
