Summary

This study compares continuous regional anaesthesia (a numbing medicine delivered through a tiny tube near the nerves) with standard pain management for people who have war-related leg injuries. About 150 adults will take part, and researchers will measure pain levels and opioid use over the first 72 hours. The goal is to find a more effective way to control pain and reduce reliance on strong painkillers.

Who is studied

The study population will include adult patients with war-related lower limb trauma who are admitted to participating trauma and rehabilitation centers and require inpatient treatment. Injuries may include blast injuries, gunshot wounds, shrapnel injuries, and other combat-related mechanisms affecting the lower extremities. Eligible patients will be those receiving pain management during hospitalization, including continuous regional anaesthesia with peripheral nerve catheters or standard multimodal analgesia. The study will include patients treated at participating institutions such as Vinnytsia National Pirogov Memorial Medical University and the Superhumans Center.
