Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with unilateral clavicular fractures who are undergoing elective internal fixation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with coagulopathy, infections at the block site, or allergies to local anesthetics may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) combined with either clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) or interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBP) for anesthesia during clavicle surgeries. Clavicle surgeries often require precise pain control due to the common occurrence of fractures and dislocations in this area. The SCPB provides sensory anesthesia to the cervical and upper thoracic regions, while the ISBP offers comprehensive analgesia for the shoulder and upper arm. The CPB is a newer technique aimed at enhancing postoperative analgesia for clavicular procedures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management techniques for patients undergoing clavicle surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar regional anesthesia techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
