NCT ID NCT07263295

First seen Dec 30, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looks at how a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) affects the diaphragm—the main muscle for breathing—after upper arm or hand surgery. About 120 adults will get either the standard numbing drug or a mix with the long-acting version. Researchers will track how quickly diaphragm and lung function return to normal, and check for side effects.
