Overview

A Comparative study Between Ultrasound guided Interscalene Block and Combined Ultrasound guided suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks for proximal humerus fracture Surgeries.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether (Suprascapular nerve block) and (Axillary nerve block) are effective in providing analgesia for shoulder surgery as an (Interscalene block), while minimizing the occurrence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis. We hypothesized that analgesia with a (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) would be noninferior compared with patients receiving an interscalene block and the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis would be significantly lower with (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) in proximal humerus fracture surgeries.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
