Shoulder surgery nerve block showdown: which one spares your diaphragm?
NCT ID NCT07553611
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares four types of nerve blocks used during arthroscopic shoulder surgery to see which one causes the least temporary diaphragm paralysis and leads to better recovery. Researchers will measure breathing function, pain levels, opioid use, and overall recovery quality in 88 adults aged 18-65. The goal is to identify the safest and most effective block for routine use.
