Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery: comparing breathing and pain relief
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.

CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07324499Recruiting
Dexamethasone with nerve block for shoulder surgery
This trial tests if adding dexamethasone to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affects how much of the medicine stays in your blood. It may help improve pain relief after shoulder surgery.
SantiagoAges 18–90 - NCT07338916Recruiting
Finding the Best Dose of MEV90 for Shoulder Surgery Pain Relief
This study is testing different doses of a local anesthetic called MEV90 to find the best one for numbing the nerves during shoulder surgery. It aims to improve pain control after the operation.
ProvidenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07382063Enrolling by invitation
Nerve block effects on diaphragm in kids having arm surgery
This study tests a special numbing shot (nerve block) around the shoulder to see how it affects the muscle that helps kids breathe (the diaphragm) during and after arm surgery. It may help doctors choose safer pain methods for school-aged children.
ShanghaiAges 6–12 - NCT05824832RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine, clonidine, and steroid to extend arm nerve block
This study tests whether adding certain medicines (buprenorphine, clonidine, and a steroid) to an arm “nerve block” during shoulder surgery can help the numbness last longer and improve comfort afterward. It is for adults having shoulder arthroscopy and compares how long the nerve block works.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06262893Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks for shoulder surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. It tests whether adding a common steroid (dexamethasone) to one block improves pain control.
AsyutAges 18–75 - NCT05602636RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve-block pain options during forearm surgery
This trial compares three ways to control pain during forearm surgery: different nerve blocks versus using a PCA pain pump. It may help find the approach that gives better pain relief and comfort after surgery, especially for longer procedures.
DamiettaAges 18–70 - NCT07429669Recruiting
Comparing shoulder nerve blocks for pain and breathing
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07668648Recruiting
Two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. One block is placed near the neck (interscalene) and the other is placed further away (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block). The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT06143306RecruitingPhase 4
Adding a second numbing shot for shoulder replacement pain
This study tests whether adding an extra numbing shot (pectoserratus block) to the standard shoulder block reduces pain after total shoulder replacement. It may help you recover more comfortably and use fewer pain medicines.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07216820Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in obesity
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in people with obesity. It tests whether a block that spares the phrenic nerve (which helps you breathe) can keep your breathing strength stronger after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07553611Recruiting
Regional anesthesia and shoulder surgery recovery outcomes
This study compares different numbing techniques used during shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive shoulder surgery) to see which one helps patients recover better, use less pain medication, and experience fewer complications like temporary paralysis of the breathing muscle under the rib cage.
Antalya, MuratpaşaAges 18–65 - NCT07278050Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–75 - NCT07688889Enrolling by invitation
Anthropometric effects on shoulder block success
This trial looks at how body measurements affect the success and timing of a nerve block for shoulder surgery. It aims to improve pain relief during the procedure.
AmasyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07474896Recruiting
Nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery in older adults
This study tests whether certain nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling pain. It is for people 65 and older having planned shoulder surgery with regional anesthesia.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT06878391Recruiting
Shoulder nerve blocks for rotator cuff repair surgery
This trial tests whether adding specific nerve blocks and a patient-controlled pain pump improves pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. It may help people who are having this surgery feel better and use less pain medicine.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for interscalene block?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 32 recruiting interscalene block studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a interscalene block trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a interscalene block trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
