Comparing two anesthetics for rotator cuff repair surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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 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.
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 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.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general vs. regional) to see which gives the surgeon a better view during shoulder arthroscopy. If you need shoulder surgery, participating may help improve how these procedures are done.
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 compares two surgical techniques for repairing small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm). It tests if a newer method helps people recover better than the standard approach.
