Nerve-signal guidance to place a shoulder pain catheter
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation can help clinicians place a thin catheter in the correct spot to reduce pain during certain shoulder replacement surgeries. It may help make the procedure safer and more accurate, improving pain control after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if stimulating a nerve in the neck can reduce right shoulder pain caused by liver or gallbladder problems. It may offer a non-drug option for managing this type of pain.
This study tests whether changing the electrical frequency during a type of nerve stimulation (percutaneous neuromodulation) can improve muscle strength and reduce pain sensitivity in people with a hidden muscle knot (trigger point) in the shoulder blade area.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. It may help people manage post-surgical discomfort without relying on strong painkillers.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
This trial tests if using mild electrical pulses on the ear and head can help reduce pain after surgery. It may help patients need fewer painkillers after their operation.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after shoulder replacement surgery: a long-acting numbing medicine (ZYNRELEF) versus a temporary nerve block catheter. It aims to see which provides better pain control and recovery.
