Can a cheap model help doctors master nerve blocks?
NCT ID NCT07604506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple, low-cost model can help junior doctors learn how to perform ultrasound-guided femoral nerve blocks. Thirty-six doctors will be tested on their knowledge and skills before and after training. The goal is to see if this affordable training method improves their ability to perform the procedure safely and effectively.
