Nerve block comparison for shoulder surgery pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.
