Comparing two types of pain relief after knee surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after knee surgery: one uses a small tube (epidural) near the spine, and the other injects pain medicine directly into the knee joint. The goal is to see which method works better for patients who had spinal anesthesia during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had your surgery with spinal anesthesia (a numbing shot in the back).
- You are willing to take part in the study and follow the procedures.
- You are not having surgery under general anesthesia (being put completely to sleep).
- You do not have any medical or drug-related issues that would make it hard to track your recovery.

This study compares two ways of delivering pain medication through an epidural catheter (a thin tube placed in your back) after knee replacement surgery. One method gives medicine in timed doses, while the other gives a continuous flow. Researchers want to see which approach works better for pain control and recovery.
This trial compares two types of epidural pain management during surgery. It tests whether letting you control your pain medication yourself works better than the standard method.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: a special nerve block (iPACK) versus a shot of medicine around the knee joint. The goal is to see which method gives better pain relief and helps you recover faster.
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests two ways to give pain medicine around the hip joint during surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients experience less pain after hip replacement.
