Nerve block options for shoulder surgery pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain control during and after the procedure. It aims to find the best way to reduce discomfort while using ultrasound guidance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery (a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera).
- Your surgery is expected to last between 1 and 4 hours.
- You are in generally good health (classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II).

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 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 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 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 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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery to look inside and treat shoulder problems). The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
