Nerve block options for shoulder arthroscopy pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of numbing the shoulder area before arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery: a nerve block around the neck area, or a combination of two blocks. The goal is to see which approach gives better pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. One block is placed near the neck (interscalene) and the other is placed further away (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block). The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
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 trial compares three different types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy. The goal is to find which block works best for reducing pain and improving recovery.
This study compares two injection spots for a nerve block that numbs the shoulder area during surgery. The goal is to find which spot gives better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to find out which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
