Pain survey for ACL knee surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing a simplified pain questionnaire for people who are having ACL knee surgery. The goal is to see if this shorter questionnaire can effectively measure pain levels after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control and recovery.
This study tests pain management options after ACL reconstruction to reduce the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover with fewer side effects and lower risk of opioid dependence.
This study compares two different groups of numbing injections to find which works better for pain after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This trial tests two types of mild electric stimulation (one with tiny needles, one without) applied to the thigh muscle to reduce pain in people who had ACL knee surgery in the last six weeks. The goal is to see if this can help you feel better and recover quicker.
This study tests whether taking a melatonin pill before surgery, combined with a numbing injection in the knee, provides better pain relief after ACL reconstruction. It may help reduce discomfort and the need for stronger pain medicines.
