Comparing anesthesia types for a clearer view in shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for shoulder surgery using a small camera (arthroscopy).
- You are in generally good health or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I–III).
- You have not had previous surgery on the same shoulder.
- You have no bleeding disorders, active infections, or severe lung disease that would affect anesthesia choice.
- You have no allergy to anesthesia medications, no opioid dependence or chronic pain syndrome, and no nerve disorders affecting the shoulder.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. The blocks are given before surgery to reduce pain during recovery.
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 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 two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after outpatient shoulder surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks, and the study will track their pain and recovery.
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.
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.
