Blood flow clues may predict pain block success in arm surgery
NCT ID NCT07197281
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether changes in blood flow can quickly tell doctors if a nerve block has worked for arm surgery. Researchers will measure two blood flow signals in 50 adults before and after the block. If successful, this could help doctors confirm pain relief faster and avoid extra procedures.

Who can take part

Who is studied
Participants are adult patients aged 18-65 years, both male and female, classified as ASA II-VI, and scheduled for elective superficialization procedures (mainly AV fistula superficialization). Patients must be capable of understanding and signing informed consent. Excluded are patients with contraindications to nerve block such as coagulopathy, local infection, allergy to local anesthetics, severe vascular disease, morbid obesity (BMI \>35), severe neurological or psychiatric impairment, or those taking vasopressors or beta-blockers that could alter vascular reactivity.
