Summary
This study looks at which pain control method works best after rotator cuff repair surgery. Researchers will compare different combinations of pain medicines to see which reduces the need for strong narcotics like oxycodone. About 130 adults having shoulder surgery will take part. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage pain after surgery.
