Comparing pain blocks for rotator cuff surgery recovery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after outpatient shoulder surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks, and the study will track their pain and recovery.
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 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 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 provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. The blocks are given before surgery to reduce pain during recovery.
