Prospective Observational Study on the Analgesic Effectiveness of Blocking the Suprascapular and Axillary Nerves in Shoulder Arthroscopy.

Jose Manuel López González166 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of suprascapular and axillary nerve block for shoulder arthroscopy surgery

An observational study of paired cohorts, not randomized, was designed with the aim of comparing the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of two regional analgesic techniques: the shoulder anterior capsular block associated with the suprascapular nerve block performed via an anterior approach versus the suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks performed posteriorly in patients with shoulder surgery via arthroscopy in procedures that cause intense postoperative pain.
