Nerve block for pain after knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection near the knee joint) can help with pain after knee replacement surgery. It might be a good option if you're having only one knee replaced for the first time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement on one knee only.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You are not having both knees replaced at the same time.
- This is not a revision surgery (it's your first knee replacement).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests a nerve block called the sacral erector spinae plane block to see if it improves pain control after total knee replacement surgery. If you're having a knee replacement and staying in the hospital overnight, you may be able to join.
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 tests a nerve-blocking injection to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain better in the days following their operation using a combination pain-control approach.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after total knee replacement. The blocks are given before surgery and aim to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
