Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis and Ambulatory Continuous Interscalene Nerve Blocks

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Adhesive Capsulitis, Post-operative Pain

In brief

Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the shoulder will improve shoulder range-of-motion following the shoulder procedure performed on the frozen shoulder. It will also help determine if patients have a higher quality-of-life and less pain, require fewer pain pills, experience fewer sleep disturbances, and are more satisfied with their post-procedure pain control.
