Comparing diluted bupivacaine for arm surgery nerve block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether mixing the numbing medicine bupivacaine with sugar water (dextrose) or salt water (saline) affects how well a nerve block works for upper arm surgery. The goal is to find which mixture provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.

This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) works better than standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for pain after shoulder surgery. Both are given as nerve blocks to help you stay comfortable during recovery.
This trial tests two different methods for numbing the arm (infraclavicular block) before upper extremity surgery. It aims to find out which approach works better to block pain.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for forearm or hand surgery in people who are obese. One method places the numbing medicine near the collarbone from the front, and the other from behind the collarbone. The goal is to see which way works better.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone, to the numbing shot around the arm's nerves can improve pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay comfortable.
