Liposomal bupivacaine nerve block for rotator cuff surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a long-lasting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) works better than standard pain relief for people having rotator cuff surgery. It aims to lessen pain after surgery so you may need fewer pain pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having rotator cuff surgery or shoulder arthroscopy that uses a type of nerve block called an interscalene block.
- You do not have a lung condition like COPD or other breathing problems that would make a nerve block unsafe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have liver disease.
- You are not allergic to bupivacaine, liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel), or any of their ingredients.

This trial tests two different pain relief methods for people having rotator cuff repair surgery. The goal is to see which one works better for managing pain after surgery.
This trial compares two methods of pain control after ACL surgery: a long-lasting local anesthetic (Exparel) versus a nerve block. It aims to find which provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding two medications (Exparel and dexamethasone) to a shoulder surgery nerve block reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. If you're having primary shoulder surgery, this trial may help you recover with less pain medication.
This trial tests a pain pump after specific shoulder or knee surgeries to see how well it controls pain. It may help you recover more comfortably after surgery.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
