New pain block study for shoulder surgery: does the expensive version work better?

NCT ID NCT05900427

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at two different nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder replacement surgery. One group received a standard painkiller (bupivacaine), while the other got a mix that included a longer-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine). The goal was to see which approach led to better pain control and less need for opioids in the days after surgery. The study was stopped early and enrolled 78 adults aged 18-90.
