About this study
Official title: The Analgesic Effect of Shoulder Anterior Capsule (SHAC) Block Versus Suprascapular Nerve Block in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgeries
The aim of the study is to compare the post-operative analgesic effect of Shoulder anterior capsule (SHAC) block with Suprascapular nerve block for arthroscopic shoulder surgery with a hypothesis that both Shoulder anterior capsule (SHAC) block and Suprascapular nerve block are effective in providing postoperative analgesia for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
Read the detailed description
The role of shoulder arthroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder disorders is evolving .
Advances in modern arthroscopy have contributed significantly to greater flexibility and efficacy in addressing shoulder pathology.Advantages of arthroscopy include less invasive approaches, improved visualization, decreased risk of many postoperative complications ,and faster recovery.
Shoulder surgery is well recognised as having the potential to cause severe postoperative pain.The aim of this review is to assess critically the evidence relating to the effectiveness of regional anaesthesia techniques commonly used for postoperative analgesia following shoulder surgery opioid analgesics are commonly used for analgesia when nerve block are not used. opoids are effective in relieving postoperative pain at rest but may increase postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV),somnolence,constipation,urinary retention,respiratory depression ,and sleep disturbances.
supplementing general anesthesia (GA) with a regional nerve block might improve the quality of postoperative relief pain .
Throughout intraoperative and postoperative period, nerve blocks have been used more populary than others because of efficacy.For the regional nerve block,local anesthetic should be infiltrated close to the nerve for maximum effect.
Shoulder anterior capsule block (SHAC):is combination of two different blocks .the first block is the interfascial space between the deep layer of the deltoid fascia and the superficial layer of the subscapularis fascia , anterior to the subscapularis myotendinous junction . Thanks to this interfascial space,we can reach both the axillary nerve and the subscapular nerves,the lateral pectoral nerve and the musculocutaneous nerve.
Suprascapular nerve block(SSB) :The suprascabular nerve (SSN) originates from the nerve roots and provides sensation for the posterior shoulder capsule, acromioclavicular joint,subacromial bursa,and coracoclavicular ligament .Blocking it provides pre-emptive anesthesia , decreased intraoperative pain ,and postoperative pain relief in shoulder arthroscopy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SHAC blockProcedure or surgery
Also called shoulder anterior capsule block
with the patient in a beach-chair position and with the arm in extension, the subscapularis muscle is stretched posteriorly and becomes easily visible. With external rotation and abduction, the coracobrachialis and the biceps brachii muscles are displaced, allowing the visualization of the interfascial space between the deep lamina of the deltoid muscle fascia and the superficial lamina of the subscapularis fascia.Once the injection into the fascial space is achieved, the investigators can proceed towards the glenohumeral pericapsular space by crossing the subscapularis muscle with the needle. By injecting the pericapsular space, the investigators reach the terminal articular branches indistinctly from their origin. Furthermore, through the Weitbrecht foramen, a natural capsular foramen between the upper and middle glenohumeral ligaments, the investigators also reach the intra-articular space .
suprascapular nerve blockProcedure or surgery
Patients will be placed in lateral position by using A high - frequency linear ultrasound probe will be placed approximately 2 cm medial to the medial border of the acromion and about 2 cm cranial to the superior margin of the scapular spine until supraspinatus or infraspinatus muscle contractions were elicited. Following negative aspiration,A 21G 10-cm needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach .The tip of the needle will be placed at the floor of the supraspinatus fossa where the nerve has passed .A volume of 15 mL of a mixture of 2% lidocaine (5 mL) and 0.5% levobupivacaine (10 mL) was injected.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing SHAC block and suprascapular nerve block in people with Shoulder Pain and Postoperative Pain, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2025. 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 Egypt. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Rana EA Ibrahim, Resident (00201069626195, relsayed324@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
effect on postopeartive pain after shoulder arthrscopy (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06529393, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 24 Feb 2025.
