This trial compares two different ways of numbing the leg to provide better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether adding a popliteal sciatic nerve block (behind the knee) to a saphenous block (inner thigh) works better than adding an IPACK block (back of the knee).
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 trial tests two different types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a total knee replacement. The blocks are given during surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: a special nerve block (iPACK) versus a shot of medicine around the knee joint. The goal is to see which method gives better pain relief and helps you recover faster.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether a block of the nerve in the thigh plus a block around the knee joint works better than the thigh block plus a block of specific knee nerves.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both methods aim to reduce pain without using strong opioids.
