Comparing nerve blocks for shoulder surgery with less breathing side effects
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways to numb the shoulder during surgery to see which one has less effect on breathing. The aim is to find a safer option for patients having shoulder procedures.

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.
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.
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 different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. One block is placed near the neck (interscalene) and the other is placed further away (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block). The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to find which provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. If you are having shoulder surgery, this study may help reduce your pain and need for strong painkillers.
