Knee pain pump study for single knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small pain pump placed in your knee joint during surgery can help control pain after a single knee replacement. It is for people who are having outpatient knee replacement surgery and have not been taking strong pain medicines recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having only one knee replaced (not both at the same time).

This study tests a special recovery program after knee replacement surgery to see if it helps reduce long-term pain. You may be eligible if you are having a first-time knee replacement for osteoarthritis, are between 18 and 65, and live near the hospital.
This study tests whether a special step-by-step numbing injection given before knee replacement surgery can provide better pain relief during and after the procedure. It may help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery.
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
This study tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine called Exparel, given by the surgeon during knee replacement, helps control pain after surgery. It is for people having their first total knee replacement on one knee due to arthritis.
This trial compares two techniques for placing a continuous pain pump (catheter) near the knee after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which technique keeps the pump in place better. If you are having knee replacement surgery and can understand English, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of delivering pain medication through an epidural catheter (a thin tube placed in your back) after knee replacement surgery. One method gives medicine in timed doses, while the other gives a continuous flow. Researchers want to see which approach works better for pain control and recovery.
