About this study

Official title: A Comparative Pulmonary Function Study of Continuous Supraclavicular, Suprascapular, and Interscalene Nerve Catheters After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

This study is designed to evaluate lung function and pain control of continuous supraclavicular versus suprascapular versus interscalene nerve catheters in subjects undergoing total shoulder replacement. The investigators hypothesize that all three groups would have similar pain control; the supraclavicular and suprascapular groups may have better lung function.

Being tested
Continuous Nerve Block
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Nerve Block in people with Post-Operative Pain, run by Benaroya Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung function (time frame: Post-Operative Day 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2017.
