Adding anti-inflammatory medicine to a nerve block for shoulder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding an anti-inflammatory medicine (dexamethasone) to a numbing nerve block gives better pain relief after shoulder surgery. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery (keyhole surgery)
- You have no bleeding disorders or do not take blood thinners
- You have not had stomach ulcers or stomach bleeding
- You do not take pain medication regularly
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medicine (dexamethasone) to a nerve block helps control pain better after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The nerve block uses a sedative (dexmedetomidine) to numb the shoulder area, and the steroid may make the pain relief last longer.
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 tests whether an intravenous pain medication (dexketoprofen) given during shoulder arthroscopy can reduce pain that returns after surgery ends. Researchers want to see if this approach helps keep patients more comfortable and need fewer pain medications overall.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief during shoulder surgery. It tests whether adding a common steroid (dexamethasone) to one block improves pain control.
This trial tests if adding dexamethasone to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affects how much of the medicine stays in your blood. It may help improve pain relief after shoulder surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection around shoulder nerves can improve pain control after laparoscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the numbing medication alone.
