Comparing nerve blocks for pain after knee arthroscopy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having arthroscopic knee surgery (like for a torn meniscus or ACL).
- You are between 18 and 72 years old.
- You are healthy enough to be classified as ASA I, II, or III (a standard rating of your overall health).
- You are willing and able to follow instructions and report your pain after surgery.
- You are not pregnant, do not have an infection at the surgery site, and do not take daily pain medication.
- You will have spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) during your surgery.

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 numbing techniques (nerve blocks) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one works better and helps you recover with less pain.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks used to numb the knee area before arthroscopic surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and helps you recover faster after the procedure.
This trial compares two different nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests a type of nerve block called an adductor canal block (ACB) with or without another block (BiFeS) to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you are having knee replacement and are in good general health, this study may help improve your recovery.
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.
