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 studies rotator cuff repair surgery when the surgeon uses a regional anesthesia method (numbing the arm area) rather than general anesthesia alone. It may help people with certain types of rotator cuff tendon injuries who are good candidates for outpatient surgery and this anesthesia approach.
This trial tests if adding different medicines to the numbing drug (ropivacaine) used for a shoulder nerve block can improve pain control during and after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. It aims to find the best combination to help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two different pain relief methods for people having rotator cuff repair surgery. The goal is to see which one works better for managing pain after surgery.
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.
