Knee numbing injections during knee replacement surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different nerve-blocking anesthesia techniques to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both methods are designed to numb the area around your knee so you need less pain medication afterward.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
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 two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) around the knee to help manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve recovery compared to standard pain treatment.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a local anesthetic injection around the knee, and the other adds an additional nerve block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (subsartorial and femoral) to see which provides better pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both are injections that numb the nerves around your knee to help with recovery.
