Comparing phrenic-sparing and interscalene nerve blocks for shoulder surgery in people with obesity
This trial tests whether a phrenic-sparing nerve block, compared with the standard interscalene block, lowers early breathing problems after shoulder surgery in adults with obesity and whether a quick breathing-strength test (MIP) helps predict who is at higher risk.
-
Exercising your good arm to protect muscle during elbow immobilization after shoulder surgery
This research will test whether exercising the non-operated arm with either eccentric or concentric movements helps preserve muscle strength and size in adults who must have their elbow immobilized after shoulder surgery.
-
Evaluating hemidiaphragmatic paralysis after shoulder surgery with nerve blocks
This study is testing how often patients having shoulder surgery with a specific nerve block experience breathing issues and how it affects their pain and use of pain medication afterward.
