Summary

This trial tests whether a combination of two nerve blocks (Modified PENG and Suprascapular) can control pain after shoulder surgery as well as the standard interscalene block, but with fewer side effects like breathing trouble or muscle weakness. About 70 adults having Bankart repair or Latarjet surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to compare pain levels 24 hours after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Modified PENG Block combined with Suprascapular Nerve Block
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safer alternative for pain control after shoulder surgery, reducing breathing problems and muscle weakness.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The new block may not control pain as well as the standard method, and results may not apply to all patients.
