Regional anesthesia and shoulder surgery recovery outcomes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 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.
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 studies how regional anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain and a key artery during shoulder surgery. It aims to find which anesthesia method works best for oxygen supply.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general vs. regional) to see which gives the surgeon a better view during shoulder arthroscopy. If you need shoulder surgery, participating may help improve how these procedures are done.
