Nerve block with long-acting pain medicine for knee replacement
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at a type of pain relief called a nerve block (adductor canal block) using a long-lasting medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this approach reduces pain and helps you recover better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests different doses of a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) injected into a nerve block in the thigh to see which dose works best for pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help you have better pain control and recover faster.
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
This study tests two types of pain relief injections after total knee replacement to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects. It compares a long-lasting liposome bupivacaine to standard bupivacaine, given in two different nerve block locations.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) given during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if it helps preserve muscle strength after surgery while still controlling pain.
This trial tests whether adding a nerve block (a numbing injection near the nerve) to the usual pain plan can better control pain after a total knee replacement. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests a nerve block that helps manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve your recovery. The study is for people having their first knee replacement on one knee.
