Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ISB with SSNB & ANB

An ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block (9 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine, 3 ml for each trunk) is performed immediately before arthroscopic rotator cuff repair , along with suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block (each with 10 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine). Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) at a low fixed dose: fentanyl-loading dose: 0.4㎍/kg, continuous dose: 0.2㎍/kg/h, nefopam-loading dose: 0.04mg/kg, continuous dose: 0.02mg/kg/h

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

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

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.
