Supraclavicular Versus Interscalene Block

Not Applicable
Conditions
Pain
Registration Number
NCT02014766
Lead Sponsor
Cheju Halla General Hospital
Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.
