Breakthrough pain after arm numbing block in diabetic patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with diabetes have more breakthrough pain (pain that breaks through despite the block) within 48 hours after an arm surgery with a specific type of nerve block. The goal is to understand and improve pain management for diabetic patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are having surgery on your arm or hand
- Your surgery will use a numbing block guided by ultrasound
- You can cooperate with pain assessments and follow-up for 2 days after the block
- You must sign a consent form
- You must not have allergies to local anesthetics, existing nerve damage in the arm, chronic opioid use, bleeding problems, or infection at the block site, and you must not be pregnant or breastfeeding

This study compares two types of anesthesia for below-knee amputation surgery in people with type 2 diabetes. One type is a spinal injection, and the other is a nerve block in the leg. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and recovery.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) in the leg to see if it helps reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to improve pain relief with fewer side effects than stronger medications.
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.
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.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block to general anesthesia improves pain control and recovery after arm or hand surgery. If you are having surgery on your arm, hand, or fingers, this may help you manage pain with fewer side effects.
