This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
This study tests whether cooling the skin on your wrist before a routine arterial line placement (a small tube in your wrist artery) can reduce the pain of the procedure. If you are having surgery and need an arterial line, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
This trial tests different combinations of numbing medicines injected around the wrist before hand surgery. The goal is to find which mix provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
This study tests whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
