Clinical Trial: Liposomal Bupivacaine Plus Plain Bupivacaine Versus Dexamethasone Plus Plain Bupivacaine in the Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Patients With Risk Factors for Severe Acute Postoperative Pain

U.S., June 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07665762) titled 'Liposomal Bupivacaine Plus Plain Bupivacaine Versus Dexamethasone Plus Plain Bupivacaine in the Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Patients With Risk Factors for Severe Acute Postoperative Pain' on June 11.

Brief Summary: The supraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) is a frequently used anaesthetic method for upper limb surgeries, including distal radial fracture surgery. Adding liposomal bupivacaine to BPB has shown promise in enhancing postoperative pain control. A previous randomized controlled trial demonstrated that it reduced pain scores and OBAS compared to plain bupivacaine alone, especially on postoperative day (PO...
