Ultrasound-guided nerve block for knee surgery pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it reduces pain after open knee surgery. It aims to find a better way to manage pain with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a nerve block (TIPS block) with standard IV pain medicine to see which provides better pain relief after knee arthroscopy. It’s for relatively healthy adults ages 18–40 having this common knee surgery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (a standard one and a newer one) to see which provides better pain relief after knee surgery. If you are having knee surgery under spinal anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial tests whether a special nerve-numbing injection in the back (guided by ultrasound imaging) can reduce pain after kidney removal surgery. If it works well, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
This trial tests a nerve block called the sacral erector spinae plane block to see if it improves pain control after total knee replacement surgery. If you're having a knee replacement and staying in the hospital overnight, you may be able to join.
