What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether a supraclavicular nerve block—a numbing injection placed near the collarbone during surgery—can improve pain control after elbow fracture repair in children. Researchers will compare pain scores, opioid use, and nausea rates between children who received the block and those who did not. They will also check whether the block increases the risk of nerve damage. The goal is to see if this technique offers a safer, more effective way to manage post-operative pain in kids.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Supraclavicular nerve block (a numbing injection near the collarbone) placed during surgery and dosed after
What this could lead to
If effective, this nerve block technique could offer children better pain control after elbow surgery, reducing the need for opioids and their side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective analysis, so it can't prove cause and effect. The block carries rare risks like nerve damage, and results may not apply to all patients.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This study will include all patients under the age of eighteen who underwent fixation of supracondylar fracture in the operating room at Ann \& Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (Lurie Children's). Patients will be excluded if their anesthesia chart can't be accessed to determine whether a supraclavicular block was done. Children will be the sole patient population for this study. All children undergoing supracondylar fracture fixation in the operating room will be eligible for review during the study period.
