Finding the lowest safe anesthetic dose for shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies how much numbing medicine is needed for an ultrasound-guided nerve block used during elective shoulder rotator cuff surgery. It may help reduce side effects while still providing good pain control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) works better than standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for pain after shoulder surgery. Both are given as nerve blocks to help you stay comfortable during recovery.
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.
This study looks at a new way to give numbing medicine during shoulder surgery. It aims to improve pain relief and may help you recover more comfortably.
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the shoulder to see if it gives better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery than the standard approach. It might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study compares two different strengths of local anesthetic used in a nerve block for shoulder replacement surgery. The goal is to see if one strength helps reduce pain that can come back as the block wears off.
