New nerve block could replace sedation for shoulder dislocation
NCT ID NCT06034873
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (PENG block) works better than IV sedation for reducing pain when a dislocated shoulder is put back in place. 42 adults participated, and researchers measured pain levels, reduction time, and hospital stay. The goal is to find a safer option for patients who cannot have sedation.
