Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which medication(s) should be included in the interscalene nerve block (an injection of local anesthetic \[numbing medicine\] near nerves in the shoulder) for patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement). The ideal nerve block would reduce pain after shoulder surgery without causing a great deal of muscle weakness.

Primary Outcome

Pain with movement at 24 hours from the nerve block (scale of 0-10; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain)

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Interscalene Block (ISB) - 0.375% Ropivacaine + additives
  • PROCEDURE Interscalene Block (ISB) - 0.2% Ropivacaine + additives
  • PROCEDURE Interscalene Block (ISB) - 0.1% Ropivacaine + additives
  • PROCEDURE Interscalene Block (ISB) - Systemic Control
