Popis: The aim of the study reported here was to compare the efficacy and safety of postoperative analgesia provided by interscalene block with multimodal pain control (IB-MPC) versus that provided by multimodal pain control (MPC) alone after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Sixty consecutive patients were assigned to either the IB-MPC group (30 patients) or the MPC group (30 patients). Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores before surgery and through day 5 after surgery, consumption of rescue analgesic, adverse effects and complications were evaluated. Mean VAS pain scores immediately after surgery and on days 1 through 5 after surgery were 3.9 ± 2.6, 4.4 ± 1.5, 3.4 ± 1.3, 2.7 ± 1.3, 2.4 ± 1.2, and 2.0 ± 1.0, respectively, in the IB-MPC group and 6.2 ± 1.8, 4.1 ± 1.7, 3.2 ± 1.9, 2.7 ± 1.4, 2.5 ± 1.3, and 2.0 ± 1.2, respectively, in the MPC group. The IB-MPC group had significantly lower VAS pain score immediately after surgery than the MPC group did (P
