Blood counts and nerve pain relief after a nerve block
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood cell counts change when you receive a nerve-blocking injection for neuropathic pain (nerve damage pain). Researchers want to understand if these blood changes can predict how well the injection will help your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with neuropathic pain (pain from nerve damage) confirmed by clinical tests
- You are receiving a sympathetic nerve block injection as part of your regular pain treatment
- You do not have active infections, cancer, or blood-related diseases
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on immunosuppressive medications or high-dose steroids
- You can provide written consent and have blood work done before and after your treatment

This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
This study looks at blood samples from people with diabetes to find markers that might explain why some develop nerve pain in their feet and legs. If you have diabetes and nerve-related pain, this research could help improve understanding of the condition.
This trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) in the leg to see if it helps reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to improve pain relief with fewer side effects than stronger medications.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can predict if chemotherapy will cause nerve damage (tingling, numbness, or pain). It may help doctors adjust treatment early to reduce these side effects.
This study tests a numbing injection around a nerve in the wrist to see how it affects blood flow and sensation in the hand. It may help doctors understand how to treat hand pain or circulation problems.
This study looks at how well a single nerve-numbing injection (injected near nerves in your shoulder) works to control pain during outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Researchers want to understand your pain relief experience before, during, and after the procedure.
