Nerve block before knee replacement for faster recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a numbing injection (nerve block) around the knee before surgery can help you recover faster and feel less pain after a total knee replacement. It is for people with knee osteoarthritis who are ready for their first knee replacement surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two treatments for knee arthritis pain when knee replacement isn't an option: a nerve block using heat (radiofrequency ablation) or a chemical injection (phenol), compared to standard care. It aims to find a better way to reduce pain and improve daily function.
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 study tests whether adding a second nerve block in the back of the thigh to the usual thigh block provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you're having a knee replacement, this might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if a nerve block given a few weeks before knee replacement surgery can improve pain and function after the operation. It is designed for people who have certain risk factors that might make recovery harder.
This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
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.
