SPENG Block Versus Suprascapular and Axillary Nerve Blocks for Pain After Shoulder Arthroscopy (SPENG-RCT)

12 août 2026 mis à jour par: Murat Kaykaç, Izmir City Hospital

Analgesic Efficacy of the Shoulder Posterior Pericapsular Nerve Group Block Versus Combined Posterior Suprascapular and Axillary Nerve Blocks for Shoulder Arthroscopy: A Randomized, Blinded, Non-Inferiority Trial

This prospective, randomized, patient- and assessor-blinded, single-center non-inferiority trial will compare the analgesic efficacy of the Shoulder Posterior Pericapsular Nerve Group (SPENG) block with combined posterior suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks in adults undergoing elective shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia. Both groups will receive the same total volume and concentration of local anesthetic. The primary outcome will be the highest resting Numeric Rating Scale pain score recorded during the first 24 postoperative hours. Secondary outcomes will include block performance time, sensory block success in suprascapular and axillary nerve territories, opioid consumption, time to rescue analgesia, motor function, diaphragmatic function, postoperative recovery quality, patient satisfaction, and block-related complications.

Armes et Interventions

Groupe de participants / Bras
Intervention / Traitement
Expérimental: SPENG Block
Participants assigned to this group will receive an ultrasound-guided Shoulder Posterior Pericapsular Nerve Group (SPENG) block before general anesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy. A total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be administered as a single injection between the posterior glenoid rim and the deep surface of the infraspinatus muscle.
Procédure: Shoulder Posterior Pericapsular Nerve Group (SPENG) Block
An ultrasound-guided single-injection posterior pericapsular block. With the participant in the lateral decubitus position and the operative shoulder uppermost, a high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer will be placed transversely immediately inferior to the posterior acromion. After identification of the humeral head, articular cartilage, infraspinatus muscle, and posterior glenoid rim, a block needle will be advanced in-plane in a medial-to-lateral direction. The needle tip will be positioned between the posterior glenoid rim and the deep surface of the infraspinatus muscle, and 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be injected.

Comparateur actif: Posterior Suprascapular and Axillary Nerve Blocks
Participants assigned to this group will receive ultrasound-guided posterior suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks before general anesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy. A total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be administered, consisting of 10 mL for the posterior suprascapular nerve block and 10 mL for the axillary nerve block.
Procédure: Combined Posterior Suprascapular and Axillary Nerve Blocks
wo ultrasound-guided nerve blocks will be performed. For the posterior suprascapular nerve block, the suprascapular nerve will be identified in the suprascapular notch region beneath the supraspinatus muscle, and 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be administered. For the axillary nerve block, the posterior humeral circumflex artery will be identified using color Doppler in the quadrilateral space, and 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be administered adjacent to the axillary nerve.

Principaux critères de jugement

Mesure des résultats
Description de la mesure
Délai
Highest Resting Numeric Rating Scale Pain Score During the First 24 Postoperative Hours
Délai: From arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit through 24 hours after surgery
Resting postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). For each participant, the highest resting NRS score recorded during the first 24 postoperative hours will be used as the primary outcome. Scheduled assessments will be performed on arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit and at 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. Resting NRS scores obtained immediately before rescue analgesic administration outside these scheduled assessments will also be included when determining the highest value.

Mesure des résultats
Description de la mesure
Délai
Proportion of Participants With Complete Dual-Target Sensory Block Success
Délai: 30 minutes after block completion
Cold sensation will be assessed over the posterior shoulder (suprascapular nerve territory) and lateral deltoid region (axillary nerve territory) using a 3-point scale: 0 = absent sensation, 1 = reduced sensation, and 2 = normal sensation. Suprascapular sensory component success will be defined as a reduction of at least one grade from baseline in the posterior shoulder region. Axillary sensory component success will be defined as a reduction of at least one grade from baseline in the lateral deltoid region. Complete dual-target sensory block success will require successful sensory blockade in both territories in the same participant.
