Numbing medicine for less pain after knee scope surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) around the time of knee arthroscopy can reduce pain at the surgery sites and help you move your knee better after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned knee arthroscopy (a routine keyhole procedure on your knee).
- You can describe your pain level using a simple 0-to-10 scale. No allergy to bupivacaine or similar numbing medicines.
- You do not take regular pain medication for a long-term pain problem, have no history of drug abuse (especially opioid painkillers), and are not pregnant.

This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
This trial tests different amounts of a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the nerve in your thigh to see which volume works best for controlling pain after knee surgery. If you qualify, you may receive better pain relief and need fewer opioids.
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 study compares a nerve block (TIPS block) with standard IV pain medicine to see which provides better pain relief after knee arthroscopy. It’s for relatively healthy adults ages 18–40 having this common knee surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
