New nerve block catheter for planned leg amputation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to hold a tiny tube (catheter) that delivers numbing medicine to the nerves during and after leg amputation surgery. The goal is to improve pain control and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must be scheduled to have a planned (non-emergency) amputation of the leg above the knee.
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study procedures by signing a consent form.
- You must not have any known allergy to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).

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.
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 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.
This study tests a new type of nerve stimulation device placed in the leg to see if it can reduce long-term pain after amputation. It's for people who have already had nerve surgery and still have significant pain.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a below-knee amputation: one uses a standard numbing medicine (local anesthetic block), and the other adds a mild electrical stimulation to the nerve to see if it provides better pain relief. If you qualify, you may get extra help with pain after surgery.
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.
