Shoulder Surgery Nerve Block Pain Relief Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a single nerve-numbing injection (injected near nerves in your shoulder) works to control pain during outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Researchers want to understand your pain relief experience before, during, and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having outpatient arthroscopic shoulder surgery (a minimally invasive surgery using a camera) at Toronto Western or Women's College Hospital
- You will receive a single-injection peripheral nerve block (a numbing shot near the nerves supplying your shoulder)
- You are at least 18 years old
- You can communicate in English
- You are able to understand and consent to participating in a research study
- The nerve block must work properly (you should feel numbness and be unable to move your arm in certain ways after the injection)

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 study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after outpatient shoulder surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks, and the study will track their pain and recovery.
This study tests whether adding a new type of nerve block (a numbing injection near the shoulder blade) during keyhole shoulder surgery gives better pain relief after surgery. If you qualify, you may have this extra block to help manage pain and reduce the need for other painkillers.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain control during and after the procedure. It aims to find the best way to reduce discomfort while using ultrasound guidance.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery to look inside and treat shoulder problems). The goal is to find which block provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. The blocks are given before surgery to reduce pain during recovery.
