Adding an extra nerve block to knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a special nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to a standard thigh block helps control pain better after total knee replacement. It may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a total knee replacement (first surgery on that knee).
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back) for the surgery.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems.

This trial tests adding an extra nerve block (IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block to see if it improves pain, recovery, and inflammation after total knee replacement surgery.
This trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if adding an extra nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to the standard block inside the thigh (adductor canal) provides better pain relief after specific knee surgeries. It aims to help patients recover with less opioid use.
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 ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two different ways of numbing the leg to provide better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether adding a popliteal sciatic nerve block (behind the knee) to a saphenous block (inner thigh) works better than adding an IPACK block (back of the knee).
