Adding a second numbing shot for shoulder replacement pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a total or reverse total shoulder replacement.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You do not have nerve damage or an infection near the injection site.
- You do not have severe lung disease.
- You are not currently taking opioids and do not have a chronic pain diagnosis.
- You must be able to speak and report pain in English.

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.
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.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during shoulder surgery: a standard nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the shoulder nerves) with or without an additional 'soft point' injection. The goal is to see if adding the extra injection improves pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two different ways of giving numbing medicine around the shoulder nerve before reverse shoulder replacement surgery. It may help find which method works better for pain control and comfort after surgery.
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.
This study compares two ways of numbing the shoulder with nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery. You would receive one of the two nerve-block techniques before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
