About this study

Official title: Pain Management After Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Randomised Clinical Trial of Interscalene Block and Local Infiltration Analgesia

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of local infiltration analgesia as compared to 48-hour interscalene block in treating pain after shoulder arthroplasty. The investigators hypothesize a reduced pain score and use of supplemental analgesic medication during the first three postoperative days using local infiltration analgesia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Local infiltration analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    Also called LIA

    150 ml ropivacaine, of which 100 ml is with adrenalin

  • Interscalene catheterProcedure or surgery

    Also called interscalene block

    7 ml ropivacaine interscalene block via catheter, subsequently given 5 ml/h and possibility of 5 ml bolus for the first 48 hours.
