Nerve block for pain relief during ACL reconstruction
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an additional nerve block (a type of pain relief injection) can improve pain and recovery after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to see if this extra step is safe and beneficial for patients during and after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery (a minimally invasive procedure to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee).
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same knee.
- You are not having simultaneous surgery for other knee injuries, such as cartilage damage, a medial meniscus tear, or a lateral collateral ligament tear.
- You must have received a full explanation of the study and have signed a consent form before the surgery.

This study tests a type of nerve block (called a femoral nerve block) given during ACL reconstruction surgery to see how well it controls pain and helps recovery. It is for people having this specific knee surgery with no other major knee injuries.
This study looks at ways to manage pain in adults who are getting surgery to repair a torn ACL (a knee ligament). It may help improve comfort and recovery after ACL reconstruction.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (pain-relieving injections) to see which works better after ACL knee surgery. It will help find the best way to reduce pain after the operation.
This study compares two nerve-block approaches to see which provides better pain relief after knee ligament reconstruction surgery. If you are having this surgery, joining could help manage your pain more effectively.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (a numbing shot) before ACL reconstruction helps young patients have less pain and better recovery compared to no block.
This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
