Numbing choice: could a nerve block beat local shots for dialysis access?
NCT ID NCT02722096
First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at 78 adults with advanced kidney failure who needed a surgical connection between an artery and vein (fistula) for dialysis. It compared two ways to numb the arm during surgery: a nerve block near the armpit versus local anesthesia with sedation. The goal was to see if the nerve block leads to fewer early problems like blood clots or poor healing within 6 weeks after surgery.
