NERVE BLOCK

This study tests two different nerve-blocking techniques to see which one works better for pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). About 66 women having this surgery will receive one of the two blocks before the operation. Researchers will measure pain levels, how soon pa…

This study looks at whether a nerve block (called SIFIB) can help people who have severe pain after hip replacement surgery. The block numbs the nerves around the hip using a common numbing medicine. The goal is to lower pain, reduce the need for morphine, and help patients get u…

This study tests three different doses of a drug called dexmedetomidine, added to the usual numbing medicine for a nerve block in the armpit area. The goal is to see if a higher dose can keep the arm numb and pain-free longer after elbow or hand surgery. About 69 adults having up…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (PENG block and L-ESP block) to see which one provides better pain relief after total hip replacement surgery. About 52 adults having hip replacement under spinal anesthesia will take part. Researchers will track pain scores, painkill…

This study tests whether mixing two numbing drugs (lidocaine and bupivacaine) works faster than using one alone for a nerve block before leg surgery. About 60 adults having elective below-knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the combo or the single drug. Resea…

This study tests two different nerve block techniques to control pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. Fifty adults having planned heart surgery will receive either a combination of two blocks or a single block, all guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see which method…

This study looks at 50 adults having knee replacement revision surgery. It compares two groups: one gets spinal morphine for pain, the other does not. Both groups receive nerve blocks. The goal is to see if skipping morphine reduces the need for a urinary catheter while still con…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (TLIP and Quadro Iliac) to see which one better reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers after lumbar microdiscectomy surgery. About 90 adults having this back surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks…

This study compares two methods of pain control after total shoulder replacement: a single injection of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) versus a small tube (catheter) that delivers numbing medicine continuously. About 56 adults having shoulder replacement will be random…

This study compares a new local numbing method (PENG block) to standard spinal anesthesia for adults having hip replacement after a fracture. The goal is to see if the new technique controls pain just as well while allowing earlier leg movement and causing less nausea. About 100 …

This study tests three different numbing medicine combinations for knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects. About 90 adults having knee replacement will receive one of the three numbing approaches. The results …

This study compares two different nerve block techniques to see which one provides better pain relief during a procedure to locate lung nodules. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 18-80 who are scheduled for a CT-guided lung nodule localization. The goal is to understand how …
