Steroid injection for pain after ACL repair
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a single dose of methylprednisolone (a steroid) can reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo, and your pain levels will be tracked.

This study tests whether adding a steroid medication to standard pain management after ACL knee surgery can reduce pain and improve recovery. If you are having ACL surgery, this may help you recover with less discomfort.
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 trial tests whether a short course of Medrol (methylprednisolone) can improve recovery after outpatient total knee replacement done for osteoarthritis. You would be randomly assigned to receive Medrol or a comparison treatment.
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
This study tests pain management options after ACL reconstruction to reduce the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover with fewer side effects and lower risk of opioid dependence.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection guided by ultrasound can reduce knee pain caused by a degenerative meniscus tear. It may help if you have ongoing knee pain that hasn't improved with pain relievers.
