Nerve blocks for pain after serious injury
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at using ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine near nerves) to control pain in people with severe injuries affecting multiple body areas. It aims to see how well these blocks work and if they help with recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have severe injuries to two or more parts of the body (like chest and leg, or arm and abdomen).
- Your injury severity score (a measure of how bad the injuries are) is 16 or higher.
- You were admitted to the hospital within 48 hours of the injury.
- You need pain management while in the hospital.
- You are getting at least one ultrasound-guided nerve block or a continuous nerve catheter as part of your care.
- You (or a legal representative) can give permission to use your medical data for research.

This study looks at using a nerve block to manage pain from broken bones in the emergency room. It may help if you have a fracture that causes significant pain.
This study compares two ways of using numbing injections during total knee replacement surgery to see which better reduces pain. It may help you and your care team understand the safest and most effective pain-control approach.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether a block of the nerve in the thigh plus a block around the knee joint works better than the thigh block plus a block of specific knee nerves.
This trial looks back at how well nerve blocks work for children who received them in the emergency department. If your child had a nerve block during an ER visit from 2023 to 2025, this study may include their experience.
This trial is building a database to study ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine around nerves using ultrasound). It may help researchers learn how to better manage pain.
This trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
