Pain relief injection for knee surgery recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to a painkiller (tramadol) injected into the knee joint reduces pain better after minor knee surgery than tramadol alone. If you are having a simple knee arthroscopy, this could help improve your pain relief after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You should be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II, meaning mild or no systemic disease).
- You must be scheduled for a minor knee arthroscopy, such as trimming a torn meniscus.
- You must not be allergic to tramadol or dexamethasone.
- You must not have chronic pain or be on long-term opioid pain medications.
- You must not have severe liver or kidney disease, bleeding disorders, or an infection at the injection site.

This study tests whether giving a steroid called dexamethasone through an IV can make the spinal anesthesia last longer for knee arthroscopy. This might reduce pain and improve the experience for patients.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection (bupivacaine) inside the knee joint provides better pain relief after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after surgery.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-relief methods after total knee replacement: a spinal injection and a nerve block in the thigh. It aims to provide better pain control during and after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) through an IV line during hip replacement surgery reduces pain afterward. Researchers will compare three different doses to see which works best when combined with a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the hip).
This trial tests a special injection around the knee to improve pain control after knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
