First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two arm positions (90° vs 120° abduction) during a nerve block for hand, wrist, and forearm surgery. Researchers want to see which angle leads to a faster and more reliable block. About 106 adults will take part, and the goal is to improve how this common procedure is done.
