Comparison of Pain Relief After Non Stimulating Interscalene Catheter Placement vs Stimulating Catheter Placement in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

NCT01122732 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 10-242-B
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 85
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

1. 1.Interscalene continuous catheter is a very effective way of controlling pain in total shoulder arthroplasty. To ensure proper placement, nerve stimulating catheter is quite often used.
2. 2.Ultrasound can help proper placement of catheter without relying on nerve stimulation.
3. 3.The plan of the study is to compare two techniques head to head to see if they are equally effective or one is better than others.

Conditions

Pain; Shoulder; Arthroplasty

Keywords

nerve block; continuous catheter; shoulder surgery; pain control after total shoulder arthroplasty

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain

  Pain will be monitored over the next 2-3 days while subjects have catheter inplace. Sleep, total oral analgesic intake will be compared.

  2-3 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

US Group

Interscalene catheter will be placed with US guidance without any nerve stimulation guidance.

NS Group

Catheter will be placed using nerve stimulation guidance
