Nerve Block for Recovery After Rotator Cuff Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection to numb a nerve in the shoulder) can improve recovery after rotator cuff repair surgery. It is for people who recently had this surgery and have no other problems with their shoulder or health that might affect the results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery in the past week.
- You have not had any surgery on the same shoulder before.
- You do not have a systemic inflammatory rheumatological disease (like rheumatoid arthritis).
- You do not have a neurological condition that causes arm weakness (such as MS, ALS, or muscular dystrophy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares getting a numbing shot (interscalene block) before shoulder surgery versus after surgery. It aims to see which timing controls pain better and helps recovery for people having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
This study looks at how well a single nerve-numbing injection (injected near nerves in your shoulder) works to control pain during outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Researchers want to understand your pain relief experience before, during, and after the procedure.
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.
This study tests a special numbing injection (shoulder block) to see how well it controls pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you are having this type of shoulder surgery and are generally healthy, this trial may help you recover with less pain.
This trial tests whether adding specific nerve blocks and a patient-controlled pain pump improves pain control after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. It may help people who are having this surgery feel better and use less pain medicine.
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.
