Comparing shoulder nerve blocks for pain and breathing
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective shoulder arthroscopy (keyhole surgery).
- Your overall health is stable enough to be rated ASA I, II, or III (a standard scale used by anesthesiologists).
- You have no known allergies to numbing medications (local anesthetics).
- You do not have an infection at the site where the nerve block would be placed.
- You are not taking blood thinners and do not have a serious bleeding disorder.
- You do not have a history of chronic strong painkiller use or nerve pain on the same side.

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 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 trial compares three different types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy. The goal is to find which block works best for reducing pain and improving 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 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 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.
