An interventional study of Interscalene brachial plexus block and Intra-articular Ropivacaine injection in Postoperative Analgesia, sponsored by NHS Grampian. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-05-02.
Sponsored by NHS Grampian · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
This study evaluates two anaesthetic techniques namely interscalene brachial plexus block and intra-articular local anaesthetic injection. Both techniques are currently used for providing postoperative pain relief following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation operation. It will be a randomised controlled trial involving 30 patients in two groups.
1,190 studies on the registry are indexed under Agnosia; 508 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is below the median of 78 across 1,024 interventional studies indexed under Agnosia.
