Official title
Randomized Prospective Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy of Peripheral Nerve Blockade Performed Prior to Surgical Intervention Versus Following Surgical Shoulder Repair
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Nerve blocks, or pain medication injected next to the nerve while patients are asleep, are commonly used for pain management after shoulder surgery and are considered highly effective in decreasing post-operative pain. There are several different ways to give a nerve block. All are effective and safe. The purpose of this research is to determine if one of the available ways to give a nerve block is more effective than the others.
