A Study on the Pain Control Effects of Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block Combined With Suprascapular Nerve Block and Axillary Nerve Block in Ar-throscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: a Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Mar 24, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial comparing patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and received an interscalene brachial plexus block (9 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine, 3 ml for each trunk) combined with suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block (each with 10 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine) versus those who received an interscalene brachial plexus block (9 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine, 3 ml for each trunk) combined with placebo suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks (each with 10 ml of 0.9% saline). The study will compare subjective pain scores (VAS score) and patient satisfaction preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 hours postoperatively. Additionally, 5 ml of venous blood will be collected preoperatively and at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively to analyze and compare serum levels of cortisol, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, substance P, serotonin, β-endorphin, and norepinephrine.


Eligibility

Min Age: 20 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • a definite rotator cuff tear that needed repair seen on preoperative magnetic resonancce imaging (MRI)
  • acceptance of arthroscopic surgery including rotator cuff repair
  • age same as or more than 20 years
  • acceptance of preemptive regional block and PCA, and blood testing

Exclusion Criteria5

  • did not undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
  • stopped PCA before 48 hours postoperatively because of associated side effects
  • a history of previous ipsilateral shoulder operation or fracture
  • a concomitant neurologic disorder around the shoulder
  • a failure of blood sampling including hemolysis, etc.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPreemptive ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block and suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block

Preemptive ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block using ropivacaine, and suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block using ropivacaine or saline. Low fixed dose patient controlled analgesia (PCA) were done in the two group.
