This trial tests if a femoral nerve block (a type of pain relief injection) during surgery helps people having meniscus surgery. It may reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial studies whether adding a nerve block to spinal anesthesia improves pain control and recovery after ACL knee surgery. It may help patients who are scheduled for ACL reconstruction without other knee injuries.
This study tests a type of nerve block (FNB) for pain control during ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you have less pain after surgery.
This study compares two different numbing techniques (ACB and ACB combined with BiFeS) to see which one better controls pain after meniscus surgery. The meniscus is cartilage in your knee that can tear and cause pain.
This study tests a nerve-blocking injection to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain better in the days following their operation using a combination pain-control approach.
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection to numb a nerve in the shoulder) can improve recovery after rotator cuff repair surgery. It is for people who recently had this surgery and have no other problems with their shoulder or health that might affect the results.
