Comparing nerve blocks for shoulder surgery and breathing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a standard nerve block for shoulder surgery to a newer nerve block approach, to see which one better protects your breathing function during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 20 and 65 years old.
- Your BMI is between 18 and 30 (a healthy weight range).

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 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 trial compares a newer shoulder block to a standard one for people having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.
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.
This trial tests two different ways to numb the shoulder during surgery to see which one has less effect on breathing. The aim is to find a safer option for patients having shoulder procedures.
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
