U.S., July 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07092891) titled 'Early Detection of Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Failure Using Infrared Thermography and Perfusion Index' on July 15.

Ensuring the efficacy of a nerve block early in the perioperative period is critical, as delayed recognition of block failure may lead to intraoperative pain, the need for additional sedation or general anesthesia, and overall poorer patient outcomes. Conventional methods for assessing block success, such as sensory testing with pinprick or cold stimuli and motor assessment ...
