NCT ID NCT07385872

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new type of nerve block catheter designed to stay in place better than current ones. Researchers will place the catheter near a nerve in the leg a few days before a scheduled amputation and check if it moves. The study involves 15 adults and aims to see if the new design is easy to use and prevents slipping.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better pain management during leg amputation by reducing catheter displacement.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 15 people and no comparison group. The catheter may not perform better than existing ones.
