AI Imaging Accuracy for Arm Nerve Blocks
This study compares how well artificial intelligence and anesthesiologists can identify nerve locations using ultrasound before arm surgery. It helps test whether AI can accurately guide nerve-blocking injections that numb the arm during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are healthy enough for surgery (no severe heart, lung, or kidney disease)
- You are scheduled for upper arm or hand surgery using a nerve block
- Doctors can see your armpit nerves clearly on ultrasound before the procedure
- You can provide written consent to participate

This study monitors the pressure used while giving a nerve block (numbing shot) in the armpit area for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure monitoring can help make the block safer and more comfortable.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests whether measuring skin temperature and blood flow can quickly tell if a nerve block for arm surgery has failed. It might help patients receive prompt additional pain relief.
This trial tests a new way to detect nerve block failure early during anesthesia for arm/hand surgery. It uses infrared temperature imaging and a sensor to check blood flow, aiming to improve safety and success of the anesthesia.
This trial compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for obese patients having surgery on or below the elbow. The goal is to find which approach works best for this group.
This study looks at whether adding impedance testing to ultrasound guidance improves accuracy for arm and leg nerve blocks. If you need a nerve block for surgery, this may help us learn how to make them safer and more effective.
