Evaluating Intercostobrachial Nerve Block's Effect on Pain Control After Shoulder Replacement

NCT06042608 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Summary

Interscalene blocks are frequently performed to decrease postoperative pain after shoulder surgeries and are considered the gold standard for pain control after this type of surgery. Some patients report pain in the axilla (armpit) following shoulder replacement surgeries. Sensation in the axilla is supplied by nerves not covered by the interscalene block. Sensation in the axilla can be decreased by performing an intercostobrachial nerve block. This study aims to study whether adding an intercostobrachial nerve block to the interscalene block decreases recovery room stay time, opioid pain medication requirement, and postoperative pain scores.
