Extra numbing injection for shoulder surgery pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during shoulder surgery: a standard nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the shoulder nerves) with or without an additional 'soft point' injection. The goal is to see if adding the extra injection improves pain relief and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines) or epinephrine.
- You do not have any condition that makes a nerve block in the neck unsafe, such as severe lung disease or certain nerve problems.
- You do not have a bleeding or clotting disorder.

This study compares two injection spots for a nerve block that numbs the shoulder area during surgery. The goal is to find which spot gives better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy.
This study tests whether adding a new type of nerve block (a numbing injection near the shoulder blade) during keyhole shoulder surgery gives better pain relief after surgery. If you qualify, you may have this extra block to help manage pain and reduce the need for other painkillers.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain relief while keeping your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) working well.
This study compares two ways of numbing the shoulder with nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery. You would receive one of the two nerve-block techniques before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
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 trial compares two ways of numbing the shoulder area before arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery: a nerve block around the neck area, or a combination of two blocks. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and recovery after surgery.
