Do kidney disease or diabetes change how long nerve blocks last?
NCT ID NCT01323075
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how long nerve blocks last in people with kidney failure or diabetes compared to those without these conditions. Researchers gave 120 patients a truncal block during hand or wrist surgery and measured when sensation returned. The goal was to see if metabolic diseases affect nerve block recovery time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- truncal block (nerve block procedure)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict how nerve blocks work in patients with kidney failure or diabetes, leading to safer and more effective pain management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study focused on measuring nerve block duration, not on developing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
