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 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 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 study tests whether adding different medications to a numbing injection can reduce pain that returns after the injection wears off. It may help people having surgery for a broken arm or hand.
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 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.
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.
