Wrist surgery pain study seeks better recovery with new drug combo

NCT ID NCT06179004

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

Summary

This study tests if a longer-lasting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than the standard one for wrist fracture surgery. About 100 adults will receive a nerve block before surgery, and their pain and recovery will be tracked for 48 hours. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
