Ultrasound nerve block training for junior emergency doctors
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study teaches junior doctors in emergency medicine how to use ultrasound to safely perform nerve blocks—a pain-relief technique. Researchers will compare learning with a low-cost practice model to see if it works as well as expensive alternatives.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks back at how well nerve blocks work for children who received them in the emergency department. If your child had a nerve block during an ER visit from 2023 to 2025, this study may include their experience.
This study tests a new way to teach residents how to do nerve blocks using ultrasound instead of practicing on patients. It might help you learn these skills in a safe, no-risk environment.
This trial tests if a simulation-based training program helps medical students learn how to perform an ultrasound-guided nerve block (a numbing injection near the sciatic nerve). If you're a medical student, you may join to practice and improve your skills.
This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
This trial looks at whether teaching anaesthesiologists to use ultrasound while placing spinal anaesthesia makes the procedure easier and safer. It includes patients having elective leg or foot surgery.
This trial tests a hands-on ultrasound training workshop for emergency medicine physicians. It aims to improve their skills using simulation cases.
