Testing two pain-control injections for knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning a first-time, one-sided knee replacement (for osteoarthritis) with spinal anesthesia
- Your overall health status is fairly good (ASA class I, II, or III)
- You can take part in follow-up by phone or online questionnaires after surgery
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have certain major bleeding or medical conditions that would stop use of the study medicines
- You meet key safety checks (no severe liver/kidney disease, not very low body weight, and blood sugar is controlled)

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 two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
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.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests two different drugs (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a standard nerve block for knee replacement. It aims to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
This trial tests whether a nerve block injected near the knee (with a long-acting pain medicine) works better for controlling pain after a scheduled knee replacement. It may help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
