Shoulder surgery pain showdown: catheter vs. single shot
NCT ID NCT05868330
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods of numbing the shoulder after total shoulder replacement: a continuous catheter that delivers pain medicine over time versus a single injection of long-lasting medication. About 56 adults having shoulder replacement will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and function on the first day after surgery.
