Monitoring Pain Levels During Arm Surgery With Nerve Block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a slightly different arm position (at a 120° angle instead of the usual 90°) makes a nerve block for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery more effective and safer. If you are having surgery on your arm or hand, this could help improve your pain control.
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 tests whether adding a nerve block to general anesthesia improves pain control and recovery after arm or hand surgery. If you are having surgery on your arm, hand, or fingers, this may help you manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether mixing the numbing medicine bupivacaine with sugar water (dextrose) or salt water (saline) affects how well a nerve block works for upper arm surgery. The goal is to find which mixture provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study monitors the pressure used while giving a nerve block (numbing shot) in the armpit area for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure monitoring can help make the block safer and more comfortable.
This study looks at how a nerve block given near the collarbone affects blood flow in the arm during hand surgery. It may help doctors understand how the block works and improve pain control.
