Summary

Shoulder arthroscopic surgery is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain, which may hinder early mobilization and functional recovery. Interscalene block (ISB) is commonly used to provide effective analgesia but is frequently associated with hemidiaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic nerve involvement. Cervical erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been proposed as an alternative regional technique that may provide analgesia while reducing respiratory-related adverse effects. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of cervical ESPB versus continuous ISB in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Arthroscopy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Continuous Cervical Erector Spinae Plane Block

An ultrasound-guided cervical erector spinae plane block with catheter placement will be performed. Local anesthetic will be administered through the catheter to provide continuous postoperative analgesia according to institutional protocol as part of a standardized multimodal analgesic regimen.

PROCEDURE

Continuous Interscalene Block

An ultrasound-guided interscalene block with catheter placement will be performed. Local anesthetic will be administered through the catheter to provide continuous postoperative analgesia according to institutional protocol as part of a standardized multimodal analgesic regimen.

PROCEDURE

No intervention
