What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different analgesic techniques for patients undergoing forearm surgery. It compares the Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB), Intercostobrachial nerve block (ICBN), and Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) with fentanyl against the Supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCBPB) in managing tourniquet pain. The study will involve adult patients who are scheduled for orthopedic or plastic surgery with a tourniquet duration exceeding 45 minutes and who prefer regional anesthesia. The goal is to determine which method provides better pain relief during the procedure.
