Finding the best dose of numbing medicine for knee surgery pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests different amounts of a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the nerve in your thigh to see which volume works best for controlling pain after knee surgery. If you qualify, you may receive better pain relief and need fewer opioids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for knee surgery with general anesthesia.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less.
- You do not have nerve damage in your thigh, a bleeding disorder, an allergy to numbing medicines, or an infection near the injection site.

This trial tests different doses of a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) injected into a nerve block in the thigh to see which dose works best for pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help you have better pain control and recover faster.
This trial tests two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (a newer longer-lasting one and a standard one) given as a nerve block in the thigh to control pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study tests whether giving bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) around the time of knee arthroscopy can reduce pain at the surgery sites and help you move your knee better after the operation.
