First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study looks at whether using a mild electrical current (neurostimulation) along with ultrasound makes nerve blocks work better for people having arm surgery. About 82 adults will take part. The goal is to see if the stimulation helps the block start faster and last longer, improving pain control during and after the operation.
