NCT ID NCT05821517
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two new pain management methods—methoxyflurane (an inhaled painkiller) and a virtual reality headset—against standard care for people with a dislocated shoulder. The goal is to see if these approaches reduce the need for strong sedative drugs during the procedure. About 150 adults will take part, and the study is currently recruiting.
