Nerve block for pain after shoulder surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a new type of nerve block (a numbing injection near the shoulder blade) during keyhole shoulder surgery gives better pain relief after surgery. If you qualify, you may have this extra block to help manage pain and reduce the need for other painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after outpatient shoulder surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks, and the study will track their pain and recovery.
This trial tests if a nerve block near the shoulder blade can reduce pain before, during, and after shoulder surgery. It may help patients need less pain medicine and feel more comfortable.
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 types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside and repair the shoulder joint). The goal is to help reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
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 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.
