Nerve Block Pain Relief After Bunion Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new nerve-blocking medication (ALX006) injected near the sciatic nerve to reduce pain after bunion surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain relief compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new pain medicine given during bunion surgery to see how well it controls pain after the operation. It may reduce the need for other painkillers.
This trial tests an investigational medicine called GRT7040 to see if it can reduce pain after bunion surgery. You would receive the study drug or a placebo after your surgery, and the study team will monitor your pain levels.
This study tests different strengths of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) used in an ankle block for foot surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that starts working quickly and lasts the right amount of time for pain relief after bunion repair.
This trial tests an investigational pain medicine for people who have moderate to severe pain after bunion removal surgery. The goal is to see if it relieves pain better than a placebo.
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 trial compares two methods of numbing pain—an injection near the joint versus a nerve block—during ankle or hindfoot surgery. It aims to see which approach helps with comfort and recovery after surgery.
