Ultrasound vs. Landmark Methods for Nerve Procedures
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two techniques for locating and accessing nerves in the arm and leg during medical procedures. Researchers want to see if using ultrasound imaging is better than using anatomical landmarks (physical markers on the body) for finding these nerves accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must speak English fluently
- You cannot have had previous ulnar nerve problems or wrist/hand surgery
- You cannot have significant swelling in your upper arms or hands
- You must be willing to participate in a comparison study of two nerve-locating techniques

This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for surgery: one using ultrasound to guide the injection, and the other using touch and body landmarks. The goal is to see which method works better for Egyptian patients.
This study uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help doctors better understand the condition.
This study compares two ways to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome: ultrasound (imaging) and nerve conduction studies (electrical tests). If you have hand symptoms like numbness or tingling, you may be able to join to help find which test is better.
This study uses ultrasound to look at nerves in people with a nerve condition called polyneuropathy that isn't caused by something else. It aims to see if ultrasound can help doctors diagnose this condition better.
This trial compares two methods for placing a central line in your neck: one uses ultrasound imaging to guide the needle, the other uses only body landmarks. The goal is to find which method is safer and more successful.
This study looks at surgery for a specific nerve problem at the elbow—the ulnar nerve. It aims to find whether the surgical approach can help people with symptoms caused by this isolated nerve compression.
