Nerve block comparison for shoulder surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain relief while keeping your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) working well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your health rating (ASA) should be I, II, or III (meaning you are generally healthy or have a mild to moderate condition).
- You are scheduled for elective shoulder surgery using a tiny camera (arthroscopy).
- Your body mass index (BMI) should be between 18 and 30.
- You cannot have a known allergy to numbing medicines, infection at the shot site, or blood clotting problems. You also cannot have severe lung disease (COPD) or use strong painkillers (opioids) regularly.

This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to prevent shoulder pain after lung cancer surgery. If you are having open-lung surgery for lung cancer, you may be able to join.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. You will receive either a combined block near the shoulder blade and front of the shoulder, or a standard block in the neck area, to see which provides better pain control.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. If you are having shoulder surgery, you may be able to participate.
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.
