Recruiting studies
- NCT07326943Recruiting
Finding the Right Dose of Ropivacaine for Arm Surgery
This study is for people having hand or forearm surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) that works well to block pain during the procedure.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–60 - NCT07263295Recruiting
Diaphragm function after shoulder block with long-lasting numbing medication
This study checks how a nerve block for upper arm surgery affects the diaphragm, the muscle that helps you breathe. It uses a long-lasting numbing medicine to see if breathing is affected.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06754657RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing pain blocks for rotator cuff surgery recovery
This trial tests two ways of numbing the shoulder during rotator cuff surgery to see which leads to better recovery after outpatient surgery. It compares a single injection with a continuous pump that delivers numbing medicine for a longer time.
SantiagoAges 18–75 - NCT07642674Recruiting
IV Pain Relief After Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery
This study tests whether an intravenous pain medication (dexketoprofen) given during shoulder arthroscopy can reduce pain that returns after surgery ends. Researchers want to see if this approach helps keep patients more comfortable and need fewer pain medications overall.
Eskişehir, OdunpazarıAges 18–70 - NCT06972680Enrolling by invitation
Finding the best dose for a shoulder block before surgery
This trial tests different volumes of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) injected around the shoulder nerves before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to find the dose that provides the best pain relief.
Jiaxing, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07587203Enrolling by invitation
Numbing medication for shoulder surgery and breathing
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80

- 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.
