Clinical Trial Summary

Nerve blocks applied with ultrasonography are currently used for many post-operative pain and operations. Providing adequate area analgesia is the primary goal of clinicians, as early mobilization is suggested after shoulder and arm surgery.

In this study aimed to investigate the effect of superior trunk block application on postoperative analgesic and motor functions.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual Analog Scale	Visual Analog Scale was used for pain.Pain intensity was measured using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). (0=no pain, 10=intolerable pain)	Postoperative 24 hours
Secondary	tramadol consumption amount	tramadol consumption amount with patient-controlled analgesia device	Postoperative 24 hours
Secondary	additional analgesic use amount	The amount of paracetamol (intravenous, 1 g) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug to be administered to patients with a Visuel analog scale above 5 after the operation.	Postoperative 24 hours
Secondary	postoperative complications	shortness of breath, hiccups, hoarseness	Postoperative 24 hours
Secondary	Horner syndrome	Horner syndrome is a rare condition classically presenting with partial ptosis (drooping or falling of upper eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil), and facial anhidrosis (loss of sweating) due to a disruption in the sympathetic nerve supply	Postoperative 24 hours
