Comparing anesthesia methods for faster recovery after ankle surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different anesthesia techniques to see which one helps patients recover faster after minimally invasive ankle surgery. It may help you wake up and feel better sooner after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if using diluted epinephrine (a drug that shrinks blood vessels) can reduce bleeding during ankle surgery just as well as using a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow). The goal is to improve the surgeon's view without needing a tourniquet, which may be more comfortable for you.
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.
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 study compares two numbing medicines given during ankle replacement surgery to see which one works better for controlling pain after the operation. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain pills afterward.
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 compares total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with spinal anesthesia for people having a first-time total knee replacement who are expected to go home the same day. The goal is to see which method works better for recovery and comfort.
