NCT ID: NCT01538459 Withdrawn - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

Plasma Glucose Levels With Dexamethasone as Adjuvant to Interscalene Block

Start date: November 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the Finger Blood Glucose (sugar) when dexamethasone is added to a local anesthetic for a shoulder nerve block procedure. The investigators hypothesize that there is no increase in plasma glucose when 8 mg of dexamethasone is used as an adjuvant with local anesthetic to interscalene regional anesthesia. By performing finger stick blood glucose measures pre/peri and post operatively the investigators will be able to determine if any such increase exists.

NCT ID: NCT01317771 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Disorder of Tendon of Biceps

Analysis of the Fixation of the Proximal Biceps Tendon

Start date: March 11, 2011
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Ten randomly selected patients that have undergone an open proximal biceps tendon tenodesis with an EndoButton for bicipital pathology with Christopher Schmidt, MD, will be asked to participate in the study. The study will assess the tendon healing to bone through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Individuals will also be asked to fill a visual analog scale (VAS) pain and disability of the arm shoulder and hand (DASH) assessment tools. The variables for our objective will include age, hand dominance, gender and chronicity of symptoms prior to surgery, and other related surgical procedures.
