Comparing two types of numbing medicine for shoulder surgery pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) works better than standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for pain after shoulder surgery. Both are given as nerve blocks to help you stay comfortable during recovery.

This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. You will receive either a combined block near the shoulder blade and front of the shoulder, or a standard block in the neck area, to see which provides better pain control.
This trial tests different volumes of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) injected around the shoulder nerves before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to find the dose that provides the best pain relief.
This study compares two different strengths of local anesthetic used in a nerve block for shoulder replacement surgery. The goal is to see if one strength helps reduce pain that can come back as the block wears off.
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the shoulder to see if it gives better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery than the standard approach. It might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
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.
