ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying different ways to manage pain after shoulder surgeries. Researchers want to find out which method works best among three options: the Anterior Glenoid Nerve Block, the Pericapsular Nerve Group Block, and the Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block. All of these methods involve injecting anesthetic near nerves to help reduce pain after surgery. The trial is currently looking for participants aged 18 to 70 who are scheduled for shoulder arthroscopic surgeries and are in good health (specifically, those with an American Society of Anesthesiology status of I or II).

If you join the study, you will receive one of these pain management techniques during your surgery, and the researchers will monitor your recovery and pain levels afterward. It's important to note that you cannot participate if you have certain conditions, like a history of severe drug allergies, local infections, or previous shoulder surgeries. This trial aims to improve pain management options for patients undergoing similar surgeries, making recovery easier and more comfortable for everyone involved.
