Continuous vs. single-injection nerve block for outpatient knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after total knee replacement. You will receive either a one-time injection or a continuous block that delivers medication through a small tube. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief while allowing you to go home the same day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two pain-control methods for the leg after a total knee replacement: a single injection versus a continuous nerve-block catheter. It aims to see which option helps people recover and do rehab better.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee area before total knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better for pain relief and patient comfort during and after the operation.
This study compares two ways of using numbing injections during total knee replacement surgery to see which better reduces pain. It may help you and your care team understand the safest and most effective pain-control approach.
This trial tests whether a nerve block injected near the knee (with a long-acting pain medicine) works better for controlling pain after a scheduled knee replacement. It may help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after 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 compares two ways of giving a nerve block for pain relief during and after double knee replacement surgery. It aims to find which method works better.
