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.

This study compares two different types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery. You will receive one of the blocks after your surgery, and your pain levels will be tracked.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pain-numbing injections around the knee) to see which provides better pain relief after knee surgery. Both are given alongside spinal anesthesia, and the goal is to improve your comfort after the operation.
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 tests two types of nerve blocks (pain-relieving injections) to see which works better after ACL knee surgery. It will help find the best way to reduce pain after the operation.
This study compares two ways of numbing the thigh area (called a nerve block) before a double knee replacement, to see which one gives better pain relief and recovery. You will receive one method for one knee and the other method for the other knee, so you can help doctors find the best approach.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (iPACK and adductor canal block) to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery. It may help you have less pain and recover faster.
