Comparing two numbing blocks for shoulder surgery and their effect on breathing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to numb the shoulder for surgery to see how each one affects the diaphragm, a muscle that helps you breathe. It aims to find the safer or better option for people having shoulder surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain relief while keeping your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) working well.
This study compares different numbing techniques used during shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive shoulder surgery) to see which one helps patients recover better, use less pain medication, and experience fewer complications like temporary paralysis of the breathing muscle under the rib cage.
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
This study tests three different types of nerve blocks to see which one best preserves your breathing while providing pain relief during shoulder surgery. It may help you recover faster and breathe more easily after the operation.
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
