Comparing two types of knee blocks for pain after knee surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding an extra nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to the standard block inside the thigh (adductor canal) provides better pain relief after specific knee surgeries. It aims to help patients recover with less opioid use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a high tibial osteotomy (HTO), distal femoral osteotomy (DFO), or tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) knee surgery.
- You have a low risk of complications from anesthesia (ASA class I or II, meaning you are generally healthy or have mild disease).
- You do not have a history of chronic pain requiring opioids for 3 months or longer.
- You are not allergic to oxycodone or any other medications used in the study.
- You have not had a major ligament injury or additional knee procedures like cartilage repair or ACL reconstruction.

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 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 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 to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain after the operation.
This study tests whether adding an extra nerve block (called IPACK) to the standard one (adductor canal block) after knee replacement improves pain control and recovery better than the standard block alone. It aims to see if the combination reduces pain and swelling and helps you regain movement faster.
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.
