Body shape may predict nerve block difficulty in shoulder surgery
NCT ID NCT07688889
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a patient's body measurements can predict how easy or difficult it is to perform an interscalene block, a type of nerve block used for shoulder surgery. Researchers will measure factors like neck size and shape to see if they affect block success, procedure time, and ultrasound image quality. The goal is to help doctors plan better and improve patient safety.
