Pain relief after knee arthroscopy: numbing injection vs. IV medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee arthroscopy surgery. One group gets a special numbing injection around the knee (TIPS block), and the other gets standard pain medicine through an IV.

This study compares two different pain-block methods used during total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better pain relief. The goal is to help patients have less pain and a better recovery after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a local anesthetic injection around the knee, and the other adds an additional nerve block. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain after a total knee replacement: a nerve block (iPACK) versus injecting pain medicine around the knee. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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.
