Extra nerve blocks for knee replacement pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a nerve block around the knee (adductor canal block), and the other adds an extra shot or nerve block. The goal is to see which approach works better for controlling pain and helping you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have arthritis in one or both knees (called primary gonarthrosis)
- You are scheduled to have a total knee replacement surgery

This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
This study compares two pain-control methods for the leg after a total knee replacement: a single injection versus a continuous nerve-block catheter. It aims to see which option helps people recover and do rehab better.
This trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after knee replacement surgery. One uses a standard block near the knee, and the other adds a second block to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) around the knee to help manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve recovery compared to standard pain treatment.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: local numbing medicine injected into the knee versus numbing several nerves in the leg. The goal is to find which method provides better pain control and recovery.
