Effectiveness of Superficial Cervical and Clavipectoral Block for Clavicle Surgery
Indonesia34 participantsStarted 2026-04-16
Plain-language summary
This study aims to compare two local anesthesia techniques (nerve blocks) for patients undergoing collarbone (clavicle) fracture surgery.
Typically, this surgery uses the "Interscalene Block" (ISB) technique. However, this method carries risks of side effects such as shortness of breath because the nerves controlling the respiratory muscles may also be numbed. As an alternative, researchers want to test a newer combination: the "Clavipectoral Block" (CPB) combined with the "Superficial Cervical Block" (SCB).
The researchers want to determine if the new combination (SCB-CPB) provides pain relief as effective as the traditional technique (SCB-ISB), but with improved safety, particularly in maintaining the patient's respiratory stability and heart rate. During the study, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
SCB-CPB Group: Receives a combination of nerve blocks in the collarbone area.
SCB-ISB Group: Receives a combination of nerve blocks in the neck area (interscalene).
The results of this study are expected to provide a more comfortable and safer anesthesia option for patients undergoing clavicle surgery.

* Age Range: Adult patients aged between 20 and 60 years.
* Body Mass Index (BMI): Patients with a BMI within the range of 18.5 to 30kg/m2.
* Cognitive Status: Patients who are conscious, cooperative, and able to communicate effectively to provide informed consent and report pain scores (VAS).
* Consent: Patients who have voluntarily signed the written informed consent form after a full explanation of the procedure.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Hypersensitivity or known allergy to local anesthetics. Patients presenting with respiratory compromise or significant pulmonary dysfunction.
* Clinical history of coagulopathy or blood coagulation disorders.
* Active infection at the site of needle insertion/puncture.
* Chronic opioid consumption, defined as continuous use for three consecutive months.
* Refusal to provide informed consent or participate in the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is testing a specific nerve block combination — the superficial cervical and clavipectoral block — for clavicle surgery pain relief. Is this type of regional anesthesia block an option they're currently using or considering for my procedure, and how does it compare to whatever pain management approach you'd normally use for my clavicle fracture surgery?
2Since the trial is no longer actively recruiting, I can't enroll — but based on what's been studied here, what does the evidence so far suggest about how long this nerve block combination actually controls pain after clavicle surgery, and would that duration be enough to meaningfully reduce my need for opioids or other painkillers afterward?
3The primary thing this study is measuring is how long the analgesia lasts — does that mean there are still open questions about whether this block approach is reliably safe or effective enough compared to standard pain control methods for clavicle surgery, and should that affect my expectations?
4Since clavicle fracture surgery has specific nerve coverage challenges, are there particular risks with a superficial cervical or clavipectoral block that I should weigh — like effects on nearby nerves or breathing — especially given my specific health history?
5Are there standard-of-care pain management options already proven for clavicle surgery that I should consider first, or would you recommend waiting to see what this trial's results show before deciding on an anesthesia approach for my procedure?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
