New pain block could reduce opioid use after shoulder surgery
NCT ID NCT07278050
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. One is a standard block near the neck, and the other is a newer block in the upper back. Researchers will measure how much pain medicine patients need and their pain scores. The goal is to find a safer, effective way to manage pain and speed up recovery.
