Numbing injection for pain relief after ankle surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to numb the lower leg for surgery using a nerve block. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well for pain relief during and after surgery.
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.
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 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.
