This study tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine called Exparel, given by the surgeon during knee replacement, helps control pain after surgery. It is for people having their first total knee replacement on one knee due to arthritis.
This trial tests a special numbing injection called an EXPAREL IPSA block to see how well it controls pain after knee replacement surgery. It is for people with knee arthritis who are having their first knee replacement under spinal anesthesia.
This trial is testing a long-acting numbing medicine called Exparel to see how well it controls pain after a specific knee surgery (MPFL reconstruction) in teens and young adults. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers after the operation.
This study tests whether adding two medications (Exparel and dexamethasone) to a shoulder surgery nerve block reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. If you're having primary shoulder surgery, this trial may help you recover with less pain medication.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways to reduce pain after total knee replacement (TKA): a steroid-enhanced nerve block versus a numbing shot called Exparel. It aims to see which option improves comfort and recovery after surgery done with spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests whether a long-lasting numbing shot (liposomal bupivacaine) works better than a regular numbing shot (plain bupivacaine) for pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. It may help you have less post-surgery pain and potentially use less pain medication.
