First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests three different ways to prevent pain from a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow) during forearm surgery. Sixty adults having forearm surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of three pain-blocking methods. The goal is to find which method works best to keep patients comfortable during the procedure.
