Clinical Trial Summary

We hypothesize that both ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and interscalene block provide similar analgesia after shoulder surgery.

Description:

Interscalene block provides effective postoperative analgesia after shoulder surgery. However, it can be associated with significant risk including the phrenic nerve palsy. Previous study reported that ultrasound-guided interscalene and supraclavicular blocks are effective and safe for shoulder arthroscopy.
