Rotator cuff repair pain study: fewer narcotics
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines (multimodal regimen) to see if it reduces the need for strong narcotics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you have a torn rotator cuff that hasn't healed with other treatments and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with a torn rotator cuff that did not get better with non-surgical treatments
- You are scheduled to have arthroscopic (keyhole) rotator cuff repair surgery
- You can consent to the study and receive a nerve block before surgery
- You have not had shoulder surgery on the same side before
- You are not allergic or unable to take the pain medicines used in the study
- You do not have a history of alcohol or drug abuse, kidney problems, ulcers, stomach bleeding, or pregnancy

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to reduce pain from a large, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It aims to find which option offers better pain relief without the need for major surgery.
This study tests whether suzetrigine, a new non-opioid pain medicine, can control pain after rotator cuff surgery better than usual care. It may help reduce the need for opioids 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 study looks at how your nervous system's sensitivity to pain before surgery might affect your recovery after rotator cuff repair. By understanding this, doctors may better tailor pain management for each patient.
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 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.
