Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PPNS) for Post-Surgical Pain After Shoulder Surgery (STIM-SHOULDER) 60 Randomized

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07502170 (STIM-SHOULDER) is an interventional study for Shoulder Surgery and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on April 1, 2026 and continue until the study accrues 60 participants. Led by University Hospital, Montpellier, this study is expected to complete by September 1, 2028. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on March 30, 2026.
Brief Summary
Despite the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols incorporating multimodal analgesia and regional anesthesia, postoperative pain following shoulder surgery remains inadequately controlled. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PPNS) represents a potential alternative strategy for postoperative pain management. This prospective randomized study aims to assess the efficacy of PPNS for ...Show More
Detailed Description
All patients will receive multimodal analgesia including preoperative regional anesthesia with an ultrasound-guided interscalene block. Patients randomized to the experimental group will receive a perineural catheter allowing postoperative peripheral nerve stimulation.The aim of this study is to evaluate whether percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation using stimulating catheters can reduce postoperative pain intens...Show More

ExperimentalNeurostimulation Group
The catheter will be placed preoperatively and used to perform the interscalene block. Postoperative peripheral nerve stimulation therapy will be initiated in case of pain. Stimulation sessions of approximately 20 minutes will be delivered, with parameters adjusted according to the patient's perception within a patient-centered neuromodulation approach. Stimulation settings may be modified by the physician (20-100 Hz...Show More

Active ComparatorControl Group
Patients in the control group will receive preoperative regional anesthesia to perform an interscalene block. In case of postoperative pain, patients will receive rescue analgesia.

Active Comparator: Control Group Arm Description: Patients in the control group will receive preoperative regional anesthesia to perform an interscalene block. In case of postoperative pain, patients will receive rescue analgesia.
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Cumulative morphine consumption at 48 hours after surgery
The cumulative morphine sulfate consumption from the operating room discharge to 48 hours after surgery
From operating room discharge to 48 hours postoperatively
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Time required for catheter placement
Time required for peripheral nerve stimulation catheter placement, defined as the interval from initiation of sterile preparation to completion of catheter securement
Before the surgery (day 0)
Pain intensity during regional anaesthesia placement
Pain intensity during regional anaesthesia placement assessed using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst imaginable pain
Before the surgery (day 0)
Postoperative pain intensity
Patient-reported postoperative pain intensity assessed using a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst imaginable pain
From admission to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) to 72 hours postoperatively
Diaphragmatic excursion assessed by ultrasound
Respiratory function assessment using diaphragmatic ultrasound to measure diaphragmatic excursion.
From operating room discharge to 24 hours postoperatively
Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP)
Respiratory function assessment using sniff nasal inspiratory pressure measurement
From operating room discharge to 24 hours postoperatively
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP)
Respiratory function assessment using maximal expiratory pressure measurement
From operating room discharge to 24 hours postoperatively
Total rescue analgesic consumption during at 72 hours after surgery
Cumulative morphine sulfate consumption during the first 72 hours postoperatively
From operating room discharge to 72 hours postoperatively
Functional recovery
Functional recovery at 72 hours postoperatively assessed using the Questionnaire of Recovery-15 (QoR-15). The overall score ranges from 0 (worst recovery) to 150 (best recovery)
At 72 hours postoperatively
