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 study compares two nerve blocks—one to a muscle nerve and one to a skin nerve—to see which works better for pain after knee surgery. If you're having knee surgery, these blocks could help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after knee surgery in children and teens. It is for patients aged 8 to 18 having a first-time ACL or MPFL reconstruction.
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 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.
