What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial compares three techniques for performing a supraclavicular brachial plexus block, a type of anesthesia for elbow and below-elbow surgeries. The methods use a peripheral nerve stimulator, ultrasound, or both to locate the nerves. The study aims to see which approach is easiest, most successful, and provides the longest pain relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Peripheral nerve stimulator-guided, ultrasound-guided, or combined guidance for a supraclavicular brachial plexus block
What this could lead to
If one guidance method proves superior, it could become the preferred standard for arm surgery anesthesia, improving success rates and pain control.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study, and results may not apply broadly. Individual anatomy and operator skill can influence outcomes, so findings may be inconclusive.
