Opioid-sparing study for ACL reconstruction
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests pain management options after ACL reconstruction to reduce the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover with fewer side effects and lower risk of opioid dependence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 85 years old.

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 trial tests if giving morphine directly into the bone during ACL reconstruction can reduce pain after surgery. It may help patients who are having a specific type of ACL repair using their own patellar tendon.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated bone marrow injection during repeat ACL surgery helps healing and recovery better than surgery alone. If you have had a previous ACL reconstruction that failed, you may be eligible.
This study compares a new non-opioid painkiller (suzetrigine) to standard opioid pain medicines for pain relief after ACL surgery. It aims to find a safer, effective alternative without the risks of opioids.
This study tests whether a dissolvable implant that releases a medication called oxandrolone can improve recovery after ACL surgery. Oxandrolone may help strengthen the new ligament and speed up healing.
This study looks at how much pain medicine (opioids) people actually need after hip arthroscopy and what factors may affect it. It may help improve safer, more personalized pain control after surgery.
