Nerve block methods for shoulder surgery pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery (such as rotator cuff repair or shoulder stabilization).
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You are not taking blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications).
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, and you are not on long-term opioids for chronic pain.

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 study compares two injection spots for a nerve block that numbs the shoulder area during surgery. The goal is to find which spot gives better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy.
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 to see which provides better pain relief after shoulder arthroscopy. The blocks are given before surgery to reduce pain during recovery.
This study tests three different types of nerve blocks to see which one best preserves your breathing while providing pain relief during shoulder surgery. It may help you recover faster and breathe more easily after the operation.
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.
