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.
Who can take part
- 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
- You have not had a broken knee, previous knee replacement, or knee realignment surgery
- You do not have a nerve or muscle disease (like stroke or Parkinson's)
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant (if you are a woman of childbearing age)

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 trial tests two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections around the knee) to see which works best for pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both approaches use the same anesthesia method, and researchers want to learn if adding an extra nerve block helps reduce pain and improve recovery.
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 compares two ways of giving a nerve block for pain relief during and after double knee replacement surgery. It aims to find which method works 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 ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
