Long-acting numbing medicine for pain after arm or leg surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given through a nerve block, reduces the pain that can return after the block wears off following orthopedic surgery. If you're having arm or leg surgery, this could help you feel better and need less pain medicine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Be healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA 1–3).
- Be scheduled for a planned (not emergency) orthopedic surgery on an arm or leg.
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Not have an allergy to bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) or any reason you can't have a nerve block.
- Not be taking part in another clinical trial that could affect pain studies.

This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the spine can better control pain after lung surgery. It compares this to a standard numbing medicine, and aims to help patients recover with less pain after surgery.
This trial tests a long-lasting numbing medicine injected near the back muscles to reduce pain after open surgery on the liver, stomach, or pancreas. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
This trial tests a long-acting pain medication (bupivacaine liposome injection) to control pain after lung surgery done through a small cut. It may help you feel more comfortable and reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This trial tests different amounts of a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the nerve in your thigh to see which volume works best for controlling pain after knee surgery. If you qualify, you may receive better pain relief and need fewer opioids.
This trial tests whether injecting a long-acting numbing medicine near the surgery site can reduce pain after brain surgery for nerve compression. If it works, patients may have less pain and need fewer painkillers after the procedure.
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
