Preventing pain after arm or leg surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies a treatment to prevent severe pain after orthopedic surgery that can happen when a nerve block wears off. It tests whether giving a specific pain medication after the block helps reduce rebound pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a treatment to stop pain from coming back after a nerve block wears off following arm or leg surgery. If you are having an outpatient or short-stay orthopedic procedure, this may help keep you comfortable after you go home.
This study compares two ways of numbing the hip area to manage pain after a second hip replacement. Both methods use local anesthetics (pain-relieving injections) but target different nerves, and the aim is to see which provides better pain relief, reduces the need for morphine, and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of pain relief after a hip replacement: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the hip) versus a small dose of morphine given through a spinal needle. It aims to find out which option works better with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether adding a nerve block (a numbing injection near the nerve) to the usual pain plan can better control pain after a total knee replacement. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block near the hip (PENG block) versus a small dose of morphine given through the spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which method helps patients recover better and have less pain in the first days after surgery.
