Preventing pain after arm or leg surgery with a nerve block
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery on your arm or leg.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your surgery will be done under general anesthesia or sedation (not spinal anesthesia).
- You have not been taking strong painkillers (opioids) long-term, and you are not allergic to common pain or anesthesia medications.

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.
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 study looks at a type of pain relief called a nerve block (adductor canal block) using a long-lasting medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this approach reduces pain and helps you recover better after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after surgery for a leg injury: one uses a combination of medicines, and the other uses a nerve block (a shot that numbs the area). The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
