Anesthesia methods for rotator cuff shoulder surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different anesthesia maintenance approaches during arthroscopic (keyhole) rotator cuff repair surgery to see which one provides better visibility for the surgeon. You would receive general anesthesia combined with a nerve block in your shoulder.

This study compares two types of anesthesia (numbing medicine) for rotator cuff repair surgery. It will help find which method works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial studies rotator cuff repair surgery when the surgeon uses a regional anesthesia method (numbing the arm area) rather than general anesthesia alone. It may help people with certain types of rotator cuff tendon injuries who are good candidates for outpatient surgery and this anesthesia approach.
This trial tests two ways of numbing the shoulder during rotator cuff surgery to see which leads to better recovery after outpatient surgery. It compares a single injection with a continuous pump that delivers numbing medicine for a longer time.
This trial tests if adding different medicines to the numbing drug (ropivacaine) used for a shoulder nerve block can improve pain control during and after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. It aims to find the best combination to help patients recover more comfortably.
This study compares different anesthesia methods to see which one gives surgeons the best view during shoulder arthroscopy. It could help improve your surgical experience and recovery.
This study tests a special numbing injection (shoulder block) to see how well it controls pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you are having this type of shoulder surgery and are generally healthy, this trial may help you recover with less pain.
