Recruiting now · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Arthropathy Shoulder, Pain, Acute, Anesthesia
In brief
The purpose of the study will be to compare the efficacy of single-injection interscalene block versus continuous interscalene block on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing outpatient arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. The participants will: * Be randomized to receive either a single-injection interscalene block or continuous infusion via an elastomeric pump. * Be monitored via telephone by the research team to complete the QoR-15 survey, assess pain levels, the need for tramadol use, and any complications. * Have follow-up by the Acute Pain Unit during the first 3 days.
