Brief Summary

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, which has been frequently applied in recent years, provides long-term positive clinical results and increases the quality of life after surgery, while it can cause severe pain in the early postoperative period. Postoperative pain management is very important in shoulder arthroplasty. Adequate pain control; mental state, nutrition, cost of care, rehabilitation, and patient satisfaction, are of great importance for the patients' recovery and contribute to a successful surgical outcome. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the effects of suprascapular nerve block and shoulder pericapsular nerve block, which will be performed preoperatively with ultrasound, on the level of postoperative pain in patients who will undergo shoulder arthroscopy surgery under general anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary outcome measure of the study is the patients' postoperative pain scores (NRS)

    Numerical rating scale (NRS) at 1, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36th hours. A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    36 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative 36-hour total tramadol hydrochloride consumption

    36 hours postoperatively
