Ultrasound-guided nerve block for arm surgery: AI versus doctors
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors find the right spot for a numbing injection (nerve block) in your arm using ultrasound. If you're having surgery on your arm, this might help make the block more accurate and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I–III) – ask your doctor if you're unsure.
- You are scheduled for surgery on your arm, forearm, or hand.
- Your doctor can get a clear ultrasound picture of the nerves and blood vessels in your armpit area.
- You haven't had prior surgery in your armpit that would change the anatomy.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.

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 study compares two numbing methods for arm surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. It might help you have less pain during and after surgery.
This study tests a new way to quickly tell if a nerve block (numbing of the arm) is working before surgery. It uses a special camera to measure heat and a sensor on your finger to check blood flow, which may help your doctors give you better pain relief.
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for surgery: using ultrasound to guide the injection versus using body landmarks. It aims to see which method works better and might help you have a smoother anesthesia experience.
