Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.

This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief after shoulder surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
This trial compares two ways of numbing the shoulder area before arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery: a nerve block around the neck area, or a combination of two blocks. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and recovery after surgery.
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 study compares two types of numbing blocks used during shoulder surgery to see which one works better and safer. It may help you because the block can provide pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares different types of nerve blocks to see which works best for managing pain after heart surgery through the breastbone. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medications.
This study compares two ways of numbing the shoulder with nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery. You would receive one of the two nerve-block techniques before your surgery to help manage pain afterward.
