Numbing medicine for arm surgery pain prevention
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 90 years
- Scheduled for surgery to fix a broken wrist (distal radius) with a plate and screws
- Has at least one risk factor for severe pain, like strong pain before surgery, using strong pain medicines, depression or anxiety symptoms, or a serious fracture from a high-impact accident
- No other arm surgeries or fractures on the same side in the past
- No medical conditions (like seizures, kidney or liver problems, or bleeding issues) that would make the numbing procedure unsafe

This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone, to the numbing shot around the arm's nerves can improve pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery.
This trial compares two pain medicines given as a nerve block during upper arm or hand surgery. It aims to see which one works better and is safer. If you are having surgery for a burn, a reattached finger, or a broken arm or hand bone, you may qualify.
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.
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine dose based on the size of your nerves (measured by ultrasound) works as well as the standard dose for arm surgery. It could help tailor the amount of medicine you receive.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a nerve block injection to reduce pain after the block wears off. This could help patients who have arm surgery for a broken bone.
