Arm Position During Nerve Block for Hand Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different arm positions (90 degrees versus 120 degrees) during a nerve-blocking injection that numbs your arm before hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. Researchers want to see which position works better for the anesthesia and helps you recover safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study measures how a nerve block (infraclavicular block) affects your pulse wave, which is a sign of blood flow. If you are having planned hand surgery and meet the health requirements, you may be able to join.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay 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 compares two types of nerve blocks (subcoracoid tunnel block and costoclavicular block) to see which works better for numbing the arm during surgery. If you are having a short surgery on your lower arm, hand, or wrist, this trial may help find the most effective pain relief.
This study compares two ways to numb the arm for surgery from the elbow down to the hand. Both methods use an ultrasound to guide the numbing medicine, but one also uses a small device (nerve stimulator) to help find the right spot. The goal is to see if adding the nerve stimulator leads to better pain relief during and after surgery.
