Nerve block for knee replacement pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for a knee replacement on one side and will stay in the hospital for at least one night
- You do not have any bleeding problems or take blood thinners
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines
- You do not have dementia or a serious ongoing infection

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.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) around the knee to help manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve recovery compared to standard pain treatment.
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 ways of using numbing injections during total knee replacement surgery to see which better reduces pain. It may help you and your care team understand the safest and most effective pain-control approach.
This study tests whether a nerve block injection in the back (called an erector spinae plane block) can provide better pain relief after a first-time hip replacement. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether a nerve block can reduce pain on the back and outer side of the knee after total knee replacement surgery. If effective, it may help you recover more comfortably.
