Anesthesia choices for faster recovery after ankle surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different anesthesia methods (nerve blocks vs. general anesthesia) to see which helps people recover faster after ankle surgery. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one method, and the study will track your pain, side effects, and how quickly you can go home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need to be scheduled for a minimally invasive ankle surgery on one side.

This trial compares two methods to control bleeding during ankle surgery. One uses a diluted medicine to constrict blood vessels, the other uses a tourniquet. The goal is to see which method gives the surgeon a clearer view.
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 looks at how well patients recover 5 to 7 days after ankle surgery. It aims to understand common experiences and improve care for people having ankle procedures.
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.
