Ankle block for pain after leg surgery in diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a numbing shot around the ankle (called an ankle block) works for pain after leg surgery. It compares people with and without diabetes to see if there are any differences in pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a nerve-numbing injection (parasacral ischial plane block) given before lower leg surgery to reduce pain. Researchers want to see if this method works well for patients having planned surgery on their legs, hips, or thighs.
This study looks at different types of anesthesia used during foot amputation surgery for people with diabetic foot. It aims to find which method works best for your comfort and safety during the procedure.
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 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 trial tests a numbing medicine injected near a major leg nerve (femoral nerve) to see if it can reduce pain and improve function for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
