Comparing two pain relief methods after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests two different nerve-block techniques to see which provides better pain control after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably.

This trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a total knee replacement: a nerve block (iPACK) versus injecting pain medicine around the knee. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two different ways of giving a nerve block (called iPACK) to see which works better for pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find the best spot for the injection to help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain after the operation.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks and use a patient-controlled pain pump, and the study will track their pain levels and recovery.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after replacement surgery. One uses a continuous nerve block in the thigh, and the other adds an extra injection behind the knee to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
