Pain after knee replacement study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at long-term pain after total knee replacement surgery. It may help understand why some people have persistent pain and find ways to prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement.
- You can provide written permission to be in the study.
- You do not have an allergy to local anesthetics or any drugs used in the study.
- You do not have any reason that would prevent you from receiving regional anesthesia.
- You are not currently taking strong painkillers like opioids on a regular basis.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower.

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 study looks at how "rebound pain" (increased pain when pain medication wears off) affects long-term pain after total knee replacement. Researchers want to understand this connection and potentially improve pain management strategies for knee surgery patients.
This study compares two pain-control methods for the leg after a total knee replacement: a single injection versus a continuous nerve-block catheter. It aims to see which option helps people recover and do rehab better.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks (one at the knee, one near the groin) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. It aims to find out which provides better pain control and recovery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after replacement surgery. One uses a continuous nerve block in the thigh, and the other adds an extra injection behind the knee to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
