Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Block for Chronic Shoulder Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using ultrasound to guide a nerve-blocking injection for chronic shoulder pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.

This study tests whether ultrasound-guided injections into the shoulder can improve pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. It may help if you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and other treatments haven't worked well.
This study tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection) can make a shoulder stretch procedure called hydrodistension more comfortable and effective for people with frozen shoulder. If you have persistent shoulder stiffness despite other treatments, you may be a candidate.
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 study tests a nerve block treatment for people with long-term hip pain from osteoarthritis who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments. It aims to see if this procedure can help reduce pain.
This trial tests different amounts of numbing medicine (local anesthetic) around the shoulder joint, given as a nerve block before surgery. The goal is to find the best volume to reduce pain while keeping you safe.
This trial tests three ways of doing a PENG block (a type of pain relief injection for hip surgery) with or without added medications (adjuvants) to see which works best for older adults. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for other pain medicines after surgery.
