Nerve blocks for pain after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests adding an extra nerve block (IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block to see if it improves pain, recovery, and inflammation after total knee replacement surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two ways of giving a nerve block for pain relief during and after double knee replacement surgery. It aims to find which method works better.
This trial compares two different nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if adding a special nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to a standard thigh block helps control pain better after total knee replacement. It may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—iPACK and BiFeS—to see if they help people feel better and recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. It compares adding these blocks to the usual spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve recovery.
