Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided interscalene, erector spinae plane, costoclavicular, and supraclavicular blocks on hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, postoperative recovery quality, opioid consumption, and pain scores.

Description

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a significant approach to diagnosing and treating rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, instability, SLAP and Bankart injuries, and other shoulder disorders. Applications of this technique have become increasingly popular in recent yeras. Howeveri although arthroscopic sholuder surgery is conderered minimally invasive, it has been reported to cause moderate to severe postoperative pain, which can hinder patient recovery and rehabilitation, and potentially even extend the hospital stay. Therefore, providing an effective postoperative analgesia strategy in these patients is critical for patient comfort, mobilization, and overall recovery. Various methods are employed to managepostoperative pain in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery, with regional techniques being the most prevalent. These regional techniques provide both intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in shoulder surgeries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-guided four block techniques on hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, postoperative recovery quality, opioid consumption, and pain scores.

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.
