Analgesia After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Interscalene Block (ISB) - 0.375% Ropivacaine + additives, Interscalene Block (ISB) - 0.2% Ropivacaine + additives, and 2 other interventions for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine which medication(s) should be included in the interscalene nerve block (an injection of local anesthetic \[numbing medicine\] near nerves in the shoulder) for patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement). The ideal nerve block would reduce pain after shoulder surgery without causing a great deal of muscle weakness.
