A clinical trial to study selective nerve block versus axillary plexus block for control of upper limb pain due to trauma

Recruiting

• Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2023/03/050396
• Lead Sponsor: All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhubaneswar

Brief Summary

This randomised open labeled trial will compare efficacy of ultrasound guided axillary plexus block with selective peripheral nerve block. Ninety-four patients who met the inclusion criteria will be included for the study. They will be randomly divided into two groups based on a computer-generated randomised sequence and allocated in two groups by SNOSE technique.  Primary outcome will be pain assed in NRS at 30 minutes after performing the nerve or plexus block.
