Nerve block may offer safer pain relief for emergency leg surgery
NCT ID NCT06745986
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a targeted nerve block (fascia iliaca compartment block) can control pain as well as spinal anesthesia during surgery to remove a blood clot from the leg artery. About 84 adults aged 40-65 scheduled for this surgery will receive either the nerve block or spinal anesthesia. The main goal is to compare pain scores after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this nerve block could offer a safer alternative to spinal anesthesia for leg clot removal surgery, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial. The nerve block may not control pain as well as spinal anesthesia, and individual results may vary.
