What's being measured

Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.

change of five biomarkers (IL-6 in pg/ml, cortisol in ng/ml, IL-8 in pg/ml, IL-1beta in pg/ml, substance p in pg/ml) level due to pain after shoulder surgery.
Time frame: change from preoperation(baseline) IL-6, cortisol, IL-8, IL-1beta, and substance p level 1, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours after surgery due to postoperative pain

Sponsor's own description

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine added to ropivacaine for interscalene brachial plexus blocks for elective shoulder surgery would enhance the duration and effect of analgesia when compared with ropivacaine alone, and their influence on serum IL-6, cortisol, IL-1beta, IL-8, and substance p.
