Pericapsular Nerve Group Block vs Interscalene Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy

Recruiting
18-60 years
Both
Phase N/A

This study is about finding better ways to manage pain after shoulder surgery. Two different types of nerve blocks, PENG (Pericapsular Nerve Group Block) and LV-ISBP (Low-Volume Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block), will be compared. A nerve block is a way to reduce pain by numbing specific nerves. The study will happen in a Cairo University hospital, where patients will be checked by doctors and receive one of the two blocks before their surgery. After surgery, their pain levels and any side effects will be monitored. Participants must be between 18 and 60 years old, scheduled for shoulder surgery, and be in good health according to the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) status I or II.

  • Participants will need to visit the hospital for their surgery and follow-up checks.
  • They'll receive either PENG or LV-ISBP block, which are different ways to manage pain.
  • Doctors will monitor their recovery and pain relief after the surgery.
