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.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You have knee osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) in one knee and are scheduled for a total knee replacement.
- You can understand and speak Turkish.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or uncontrolled diabetes.
- You have not had major surgery on that same knee before.

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 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 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.
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 study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during knee replacement surgery to see which one helps your thigh muscle recover strength faster. Both are standard care options; the trial tests which works better for early movement after surgery.
