Nerve block comparison for pain relief after shoulder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pain numbing injections near the shoulder) to see which provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery. It may help you have a more comfortable recovery.
