Summary

This study compares giving a nerve block before versus after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery to see which timing provides better pain control and recovery. Participants are adults undergoing this shoulder surgery who receive an interscalene nerve block. The trial measures pain levels, opioid use, hospital stay length, and functional recovery to determine if one approach is superior.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
interscalene nerve block
What this could lead to
If timing before surgery proves better, it could lead to a standard practice that reduces pain and opioid use after shoulder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The difference between groups might be small or not clinically meaningful.
