Knee surgery pain relief: nerve block comparison
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (iPACK and adductor canal block) to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery. It may help you have less pain and recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery with spinal anesthesia
- You are classified as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy or with mild to moderate health conditions)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder
- You are not taking medications for chronic pain

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (a standard one and a newer one) to see which provides better pain relief after knee surgery. If you are having knee surgery under spinal anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of numbing nerves around the knee during surgery to see which method reduces pain better after the operation. Both methods use safe, well-established pain-relief techniques.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—one that numbs the front of the thigh and one that adds extra numbing behind the knee—to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery (like ACL or PCL repair). The goal is to help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery. You will receive one of the blocks after your surgery, and your pain levels will be tracked.
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 adding an extra nerve block (IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block to see if it improves pain, recovery, and inflammation after total knee replacement surgery.
