Anesthesia type and recovery after knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a total knee replacement surgery.

- You are willing to receive a spinal or epidural anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back).
- You do not have active infections like sepsis or a skin infection at the injection site.
- You do not have bleeding problems, severe dehydration, or certain nerve diseases.

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 different nerve-blocking anesthesia techniques to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both methods are designed to numb the area around your knee so you need less pain medication afterward.
This study compares different ways to manage pain after a first total knee replacement. It looks at how much pain medicine you need and how well you recover after surgery, to find the best way to reduce pain and improve your recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: local numbing medicine injected into the knee versus numbing several nerves in the leg. The goal is to find which method provides better pain control and recovery.
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
This study compares two types of anaesthesia (spinal vs. general) for hip and knee replacement surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain control and recovery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to participate.
