Recruiting studies
- NCT07511985Recruiting
Managing Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery
This study looks at how "rebound pain" (increased pain when pain medication wears off) affects long-term pain after total knee replacement. Researchers want to understand this connection and potentially improve pain management strategies for knee surgery patients.
Konya, MeramAges 18 years+ - NCT07286513Enrolling by invitation
Study of a new knee replacement implant
This study follows patients who receive a specific type of knee replacement implant called the Persona® SoluTion® PPS, to see how well it works over time. If your surgeon recommends this implant and you meet standard health requirements, you may be able to join.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06618820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Extended tranexamic acid after knee replacement
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07730216Recruiting
Ultrasound-Guided Knee Block Study for Knee Replacement
This study looks at whether using ultrasound to guide a numbing injection around the knee can improve pain control after knee replacement surgery. It aims to make recovery more comfortable.
Konya, KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06328062Recruiting
Comparing two pain medicines for knee replacement
This study compares two medicines, mirogabalin and pregabalin, to see which works better for pain after total knee replacement. It may help you find more effective pain relief after surgery.
Khlong Luang, Changwat Pathum ThaniAges 50–85 - NCT06208267Recruiting
Tranexamic acid for pain and bleeding after hip or knee replacement
This study tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce pain, improve movement, and lessen bleeding after hip or knee replacement surgery. It is for adults having their first joint replacement at St. Mary's Hospital.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07601906Recruiting

This study tests whether special exercises that temporarily reduce blood flow to your leg can help you recover better after knee replacement surgery. It focuses on reducing pain and improving your ability to bend and straighten your knee.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–65 - NCT07348614RecruitingPhase 4
Knee manipulation: best numbing method for less pain
This study tests different numbing techniques to see which works best for pain during a knee manipulation procedure. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT07539467Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Block and Tourniquet for Knee Surgery Pain Relief
This trial tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection near the thigh) combined with a tourniquet (pressure cuff) after knee replacement surgery reduces pain better than standard care. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
AnkaraAges 40–85 - NCT07124494Recruiting
Anesthesia type and recovery after knee replacement
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Konya, MeramAges 18 years+ - NCT04576078RecruitingPhase 2
Nefopam for less pain after knee replacement surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether oral nefopam can reduce pain after total knee replacement done with spinal anesthesia. It looks at whether this medicine works better than the usual post-surgery pain plan and how safely it can be used.
Lyon, LyonAges 18–75 - NCT04814082Recruiting
Compare two knee implant types for walking and function
This study compares two designs of knee replacement implants to see how they affect walking, function, and outcomes after surgery. You may be randomly assigned to one of the implant types used for your specific, approved knee replacement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06040827Recruiting
Study of a knee implant extension for knee replacement
This trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06083480RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing stress to prevent long-term pain after knee replacement
This trial tests if lowering oxidative stress (damage from natural body processes) during knee replacement surgery can prevent chronic pain afterward. It may help people with osteoarthritis who have moderate to severe pain before surgery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 50 years+ - NCT06088602Recruiting
Cold therapy for pain after knee replacement
This trial tests a cold treatment called cryoneurolysis to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help you move better and use less pain medication.
HvidovreAges 18 years+ - NCT06234631RecruitingPhase 2
CBD to reduce opioids after knee replacement
This study tests if a daily CBD capsule can help reduce the need for opioid pain pills after a first-time total knee replacement. It is for people with osteoarthritis who are having surgery and are willing to avoid cannabis for a short time before and after.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT06479161RecruitingPhase 2
Oral tranexamic acid study for knee replacement patients
This trial tests if taking tranexamic acid (TXA) as a pill can reduce bleeding after total knee replacement surgery. It may help you if you have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled for a first-time knee replacement.
Hartford, ConnecticutAges 18–89 - NCT06557018RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine injection for knee replacement pain
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
Dezhou, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06586840Recruiting
Adding an extra nerve block to knee replacement
This trial tests if adding a special nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to a standard thigh block helps control pain better after total knee replacement. It may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
AydinAges 18–85 - NCT06600815Recruiting
Step-by-step numbing shots for pain relief in knee replacement
This study tests whether a special step-by-step numbing injection given before knee replacement surgery can provide better pain relief during and after the procedure. It may help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06740214RecruitingPhase 3
Different doses of liposomal bupivacaine for knee replacement pain

Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT06784882RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous vs. single-injection nerve block for outpatient knee replacement
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after total knee replacement.
