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.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-numbing injections around the knee) to see which provides better pain relief after knee surgery. Both are given alongside spinal anesthesia, and the goal is to improve your comfort after the operation.
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 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.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a local anesthetic injection around the knee, and the other adds an additional nerve block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study tests whether a nerve block injection in the back (called an erector spinae plane block) can provide better pain relief after a first-time hip replacement. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers.
