Comparing two types of knee nerve blocks for pain relief after knee surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one that numbs the front of the thigh and one that adds extra numbing behind the knee—to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery (like ACL or PCL repair). The goal is to help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
