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 trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after replacement surgery. One uses a continuous nerve block in the thigh, and the other adds an extra injection behind the knee to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
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 compares two types of nerve blocks (one at the knee, one near the groin) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. It aims to find out which provides better pain control and recovery with fewer side effects.
This study looks at a type of pain relief called a nerve block (adductor canal block) using a long-lasting medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this approach reduces pain and helps you recover better after surgery.
