Nerve block location study for knee replacement pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (proximal vs. distal adductor canal block) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of giving a nerve block for pain relief during and after double knee replacement surgery. It aims to find which method works better.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after total knee replacement. The blocks are given before surgery and aim to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—iPACK and BiFeS—to see if they help people feel better and recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. It compares adding these blocks to the usual spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. If you are 65 or older and having your first knee replacement, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections around the knee) to see which works best for pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both approaches use the same anesthesia method, and researchers want to learn if adding an extra nerve block helps reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
