Ankle block for pain control after foot or ankle surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a numbing injection around the ankle controls pain after surgery, and whether it works differently for people with diabetes compared to those without. If you're having foot or ankle surgery and are willing to provide your medical data, this could help improve pain management for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You need to have surgery on your foot, ankle, or lower leg, and receive a nerve block (numbing injection) around the ankle.
- You need to be able to give your written permission to join the study.
- Your medical records must include your blood sugar levels, pain scores, and how much pain medicine you used after surgery.
- You cannot regularly take strong painkillers, drink heavily, or use illegal drugs.
- You cannot have serious liver or kidney disease, a bleeding disorder, or an active infection at the block site.

This study tests which numbing medicine works faster for an ultrasound-guided ankle nerve block during foot surgery: mepivacaine or bupivacaine. It may help improve comfort by reducing how long it takes for the numbness to start.
This study tests a numbing injection near the calf muscle to see how well it controls pain after foot or ankle surgery. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medicines after the operation.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for below-knee amputation surgery in people with type 2 diabetes. One type is a spinal injection, and the other is a nerve block in the leg. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and recovery.
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 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 trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
