Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 if learning about pain before and after rotator cuff repair helps people recover better. It might help you if you have a medium-sized tear and are planning surgery.
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 a mix of pain medicines (multimodal regimen) to see if it reduces the need for strong narcotics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you have a torn rotator cuff that hasn't healed with other treatments and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (numbing medicine) for rotator cuff repair surgery. It will help find which method works better for pain control and recovery.
