Preventing pain after orthopedic surgery with nerve blocks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a method to prevent pain from returning after a nerve block wears off following orthopedic surgery. It may help patients who have surgery on an arm or leg and want to reduce pain after the block ends.
