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.

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 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 types of nerve blocks for pain control after arthroscopic knee surgery. It aims to find which block provides better pain relief and faster recovery.
This trial compares two ways to numb the knee area after knee replacement surgery, both using nerve blocks. The goal is to see which approach 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 compares two ways of numbing the knee after total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better pain relief. If you are having this surgery and want to manage pain without strong opioids, this trial might help you understand your options.
