Trial Outcomes & Findings for Interscalene Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine vs. Interscalene Block With Bupivacaine and Adjuvants (NCT NCT03845894)

NCT ID: NCT03845894

Last Updated: 2023-11-13

Results Overview

Pain levels will be measured by the mean Visual Analogue Scale- Numeric Rating Scale (VAS-NRS). The VAS-NRS is an 11 point scale with 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher scores denote worse outcome.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 48 hours postoperatively

Population: The software interface in this website will not allow for AUC as an acceptable outcome to satisfy field entries. Therefore, here the AUC is not reported here, but rather then mean and standard deviation are reported.

Pain levels will be measured by the mean Visual Analogue Scale- Numeric Rating Scale (VAS-NRS). The VAS-NRS is an 11 point scale with 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher scores denote worse outcome.
