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 looks at whether a numbing medicine injected near the nerves (called a nerve block) can help control pain and improve recovery after upper limb surgery in older adults. The trial is testing if this approach is more effective than standard pain management.
This study looks at whether smoking changes how quickly a numbing medicine works for arm and hand surgery, and how long the numbness lasts. It may help patients know what to expect from their anesthesia.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to numb the arm for surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and fewer side effects during and after your procedure.
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.
