This trial tests different amounts of numbing medicine (local anesthetic) around the shoulder joint, given as a nerve block before surgery. The goal is to find the best volume to reduce pain while keeping you safe.
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 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. If you are having shoulder surgery, you may be able to participate.
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
