Summary

This study tests whether a topical medication called ZYNRELEF, applied during shoulder replacement surgery, can control pain better than the standard nerve block with a catheter. About 86 adults having shoulder replacement will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will track how much opioid pain medication each group uses, their pain scores, and satisfaction to see which approach works best.
