-
Anterior suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks plus diaphragm-friendly approach for shoulder surgery
This study tests whether a diaphragm-sparing anterior suprascapular plus axillary nerve block provides pain relief for shoulder surgery as well as or better than the standard interscalene block.
-
Dexketoprofen given by IV to see if it reduces rebound pain after shoulder block
This study tests whether giving an IV dose of dexketoprofen after shoulder surgery can lessen or prevent rebound pain when a nerve block wears off.
-
Interscalene versus anterior suprascapular nerve blocks to prevent shoulder pain after open lung surgery
This trial will test whether adding an ultrasound-guided interscalene block or an anterior suprascapular block to epidural anesthesia reduces shoulder pain after thoracotomy in adults with lung cancer.
-
How two shoulder nerve block techniques affect brain and carotid oxygen levels
We are testing whether adding a superficial cervical plexus block to a standard interscalene nerve block changes brain oxygen levels, carotid artery size, intraoperative stability, and pain for adults having shoulder surgery.
-
Lower local anesthetic concentration and rebound shoulder pain after shoulder arthroplasty
This study tests whether using a lower concentration of local anesthetic in a nerve block reduces rebound pain 24 hours after shoulder replacement surgery.
-
Comparing shoulder nerve blocks to see effects on diaphragm movement and pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery
We will see if three types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (interscalene, suprascapular, and anterior glenoid) reduce pain and change diaphragmatic movement in adults having elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

How many Interscalene Block clinical trials are recruiting right now?
6, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 3 countries. The most sites are in Turkey (Türkiye) (3 trials), Egypt (2 trials), United States (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 4: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
