Where to inject for shoulder surgery pain block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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.
