Trial comparing additives for shoulder block in rotator cuff repair
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding different medicines to the numbing drug (ropivacaine) used for a shoulder nerve block can improve pain control during and after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. It aims to find the best combination to help patients recover more comfortably.

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.
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 anesthesia (numbing medicine) for rotator cuff repair surgery. It will help find which method works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial compares two different anesthesia maintenance approaches during arthroscopic (keyhole) rotator cuff repair surgery to see which one provides better visibility for the surgeon. You would receive general anesthesia combined with a nerve block in your shoulder.
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 different volumes of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) injected around the shoulder nerves before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to find the dose that provides the best pain relief.
