Spinal anesthesia vs leg block for below-knee amputation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes.
- You are scheduled to have a below-knee amputation.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It aims to find which method reduces pain and improves recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (a weight loss surgery). It aims to see which one provides better pain relief and is easier to perform, helping patients recover more comfortably.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine given during spinal anesthesia for lower limb surgery in older adults. The goal is to find out if a lower dose works just as well but with fewer side effects.
This study compares two common numbing medications used together versus one alone for nerve-blocking surgery on the lower leg. Researchers want to see which approach works better and lasts longer for pain relief after your procedure.
This study compares two different pain-block methods used during total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better pain relief. The goal is to help patients have less pain and a better recovery after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a below-knee amputation: one uses a standard numbing medicine (local anesthetic block), and the other adds a mild electrical stimulation to the nerve to see if it provides better pain relief. If you qualify, you may get extra help with pain after surgery.
