Preventing tourniquet pain in arm surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a way to reduce pain from the blood-pressure cuff used during hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. If you are having this type of surgery with a numbing block, this trial may help make the procedure more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having elective surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm.
- Your surgery uses a pneumatic cuff around the upper arm.
- You will receive an ultrasound-guided nerve block for anesthesia.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder and are not on blood thinners.
- You do not have an infection where the injection will be given.
- You are not dependent on opioid painkillers.

This study compares two numbing methods for arm surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. It might help you have less pain during and after surgery.
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This trial compares two methods of numbing the arm and chest area during upper-extremity surgery. It may help you and your care team choose the option that works best and feels easiest for breathing and movement.
This study tests whether using a slightly different arm position (at a 120° angle instead of the usual 90°) makes a nerve block for hand, wrist, or forearm surgery more effective and safer. If you are having surgery on your arm or hand, this could help improve your pain control.
This study tests a device that measures pain levels during upper arm surgery when patients receive a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the nerve). The goal is to understand if this monitoring tool helps doctors give the right amount of anesthesia so patients stay comfortable.
