What this trial studies
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two postoperative analgesic techniques, the Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block (ISBPB) and the Clavipectoral Fascia Plane Block (CPB), in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of midshaft clavicular fractures. Patients aged 21 to 60 years with ASA class I and II status will be monitored for pain relief and diaphragmatic function following surgery. Preoperative assessments will include medical history, routine investigations, and monitoring of vital signs. The study will evaluate the outcomes of each analgesic technique to determine which provides better postoperative pain management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients aged 21 to 60 years with ASA class I and II status undergoing elective midshaft clavicle surgery.
Not a fit: Patients with ASA class III and IV status, those with bleeding disorders, or pregnant women may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing clavicle surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown varying success with similar analgesic techniques, but this specific comparison is novel.
