Nerve stimulation for pain after shoulder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a temporary nerve stimulation device placed near the shoulder to reduce pain after surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery with anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for shoulder surgery with both regional and general anesthesia
- You will stay in the hospital after surgery (not outpatient)
- You do not have an MRI scheduled after the procedure
- You do not have a pacemaker
- You are not currently taking strong opioids for chronic pain

This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation to guide a numbing catheter placed near the shoulder reduces pain after shoulder replacement surgery. It may help patients feel more comfortable and use less pain medicine after their operation.
This study tests whether a small electrical stimulation device, placed during your neck surgery, can help the nerve in your shoulder recover faster and reduce shoulder problems after surgery. It may help you regain shoulder strength and movement more quickly.
This study tests a new type of nerve stimulation device placed in the leg to see if it can reduce long-term pain after amputation. It's for people who have already had nerve surgery and still have significant pain.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device (applied to the ear or neck) can help reduce pain after anal or rectal surgery done through the anus. If it works, it could offer a drug-free way to manage post-surgery pain.
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.
