Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) in shoulder scope surgery provides adequate analgesia with less affection of muscle power compared to interscalene block. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does PENG block provide analgesia similar to interscalene block? Does PENG block have less or no effect on muscle power compared to interscalene block? Researchers will compare PENG block with interscalene block Participants will: Receive either PENG or interscalene block before shoulder scope surgery Be evaluated for their motor power after receiving the block and after the surgery Be evaluated for pain after the surgery

Injection of local anesthetic between deltoid muscle and subcapsularis tendon

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time for full recovery of hand motor powerStarting from block activation until the achieves preoperative grip strength ( 24 hours)Time from start of block activation till time of achieving grip strength similar to patient's baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hand grip power after surgery2,4,6,12,24 hoursThe measured hand grip power using a digital dynamometer
Visual analogue scale assessment2,4,6,12 hoursAssessing postoperative pain, scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst pain
Time to first analgesia request24 hoursTime from end of the surgery till the participant asks for additional analgesia
Patient satisfaction score24 hoursAssessing the participant satisfaction after the postoperative period regarding overall experience with the block given on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is the least satisfaction and 5 is the greatest.
