Comparing two numbing blocks for shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing blocks used during shoulder surgery to see which one works better and safer. It may help you because the block can provide pain relief after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests three different types of nerve blocks to see which one best preserves your breathing while providing pain relief during shoulder surgery. It may help you recover faster and breathe more easily after the operation.
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 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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
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 two injection spots for a nerve block that numbs the shoulder area during surgery. The goal is to find which spot gives better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy.
