Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. You will receive either a combined block near the shoulder blade and front of the shoulder, or a standard block in the neck area, to see which provides better pain control.
