Filter by:Effective analgesia in arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a major concern and is essential for all aspects of the patient's recovery. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of pain relief in patients who will undergo arthroscopic shoulder surgeries receiving either serratus anterior plane block versus PENG block comparing and evaluating the differences between the two techniques.It is hypothesized that PENG block will be comparable to serratus anterior plane block as a promising effective alternative for analgesia for arthroscopic shoulder surgeries with fewer side effects. It is suggested that the PENG block can be safely applied for analgesia.

In this study, a combination of different types of blocks for adhesive capsulitis surgery, the investigators will investigate the impact on patient satisfaction and analgesic consumption after surgery.
Dexamethasone has been tested as an effective adjuvant to prolong the effect of local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks, both perineurally and intravenously. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the addition of dexamethasone (5mg) at different time to a standard ropivacaine solution (0.5%) on analgesic duration of interscalene block.
Shoulder pain is a common complaint with the most common reason being tendinopathy and/or tearing of the rotator cuff. While many rotator cuff tears are often considered normal, age-related degenerative disorders, with either partial- or full-thickness rotator cuff tears evident in 4% of patients aged <40 years and in 54% of patients aged >60 years, once they become symptomatic and conservative management fails, they are typically repaired surgically. Data suggest that the incidence of surgery to repair and re-attach the cuff continues to rise. However, despite positive clinical results overall, reports of repair failure after surgery can range from 16%-94%, and of those that do fail, or fail to heal, generally do so within the first 3 to 6 months post-surgery. Given the aforementioned reported issues with the gold standard for the treatment of unresponsive and symptomatic partial or full rotator cuff tears (surgical repair), together with the invasiveness of this surgery and lengthy period of restricted activity, other means of treatment have been proposed. The REGENETEN scaffold/implant seeks to support new tendon growth and disrupt disease progression. This study seeks to investigate the outcome of surgical rotator cuff repair versus scaffold augmentation (using the REGENETEN scaffold) for symptomatic partial thickness rotator cuff tears.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluation the ability of 5-aminolevulinic acid HCL topical solution photodynamic therapy to decrease the colonization of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes- a bacteria commonly found in the dermis of the skin surrounding the shoulder) in order to decrease postoperative joint infections. -Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring metabolite in the synthesis of pathway of cellular heme production. Adding ALA to bacteria encourages porphyrin production which serve as the immediate precursors to heme production. When these porphyrins are illuminated with blue light at an emission peak of 407-420nm, these metabolites become exothermic and cause internal destruction of the bacterial cells. This therapy does not cause any damage to the mammalian cells, which makes PDT safe for human skin treatment.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain that may interfere with patients' early mobilization, recovery and quality of life. In addition, by using an effective analgesic technique, a patient may experience less nausea, vomiting and drowsiness after surgery that are associated with the use of opioids to manage postoperative pain. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been used in many different indications for acute pain treatment at different thoracic and lumbar levels. Recently, staining the roots of the brachial plexus has been reported in a cadaveric study of the cervical ESPB (1). However, there are only few case reports related to efficiency and safety of this newly defined cervical ESPB technique (2) . The primary objective of this randomized controlled is investigate the post-operative analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound guided single-shot cervical ESPB for patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in comparison to those receiving conventional parentheral opioid analgesia alone. Secondary objective is testing the safety of this newly defined block in terms of incidence of complications.
To investigate the difference between an opiate sparing pain management protocol versus a standard opiate-based protocol following shoulder arthroplasty in the ninety day postoperative period regarding visual analog scores and oral morphine equivalents.
Postoperative analgesia for shoulder surgery is typically achieved by providing an interscalene brachial plexus block. However, a very common side effect of this block is hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis, a state which may not be tolerated in patients with pulmonary conditions such as COPD. Recently, clinicians have explored new ways to provide satisfactory analgesia while minimizing the pulmonary side effects of the interscalene nerve block. One of these solutions might be to offer the patient a suprascapular nerve block combined to a costoclavicular block. Since these blocks are performed lower in the neck or under the clavicle, the phrenic nerve is less likely to be blocked. Thus, fewer respiratory side effects have been reported when using such blocks. This prospective observational study will evaluate the patient response to surgical stimuli and the opioid requirements intraoperatively in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopies with either a supraclavicular and costoclavicular blocks or an interscalene block. Study Design: Prospective, randomized open label non-inferiority trial. Subject Population: Adults scheduled to undergo elective shoulder arthroscopy Sample Size: 50 patients Study Duration: Starts February 2020 - Ends February 2021 - Interim analysis at 30 patients Study Center: Assuit university hospital
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis in patients receiving interscalene brachial plexus nerve block with prolonged neural blockade. English speaking American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-3 patients ages 18-80 receiving prolonged interscalene nerve block will be randomized into 3 groups: first group receiving a perineural catheter infusing 0.2% ropivacaine; the second group receiving a single shot injection of 10mL liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel; n=20) plus 5 mL 0.5% bupivacaine and the third receiving 20mL liposomal bupivacaine plus 5mL bupivacaine (to be determined by the attending anesthesiologist).Primary outcome will be incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis postoperative day 1 as measured by point of care (POCUS) ultrasound.
