Pain relief after shoulder surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing medicine injected near the shoulder to see if it gives better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery than the standard approach. It might help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.

This trial tests different volumes of a long-lasting numbing medicine (Exparel) injected around the shoulder nerves before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to find the dose that provides the best pain relief.
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
This trial tests whether a long-acting numbing medicine called liposomal bupivacaine, given through a nerve block, reduces the pain that can return after the block wears off following orthopedic surgery. If you're having arm or leg surgery, this could help you feel better and need less pain medicine.
This trial tests a numbing medicine given inside the chest during surgery to see if it reduces pain afterward. It may help you recover with less discomfort after your operation.
This study tests two different pain relief medicines given during shoulder surgery to see which one works better and lasts longer. It may help reduce pain after surgery and decrease the need for opioids.
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.
