Comparing two numbing medicines for ankle replacement
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two numbing medicines given during ankle replacement surgery to see which one works better for controlling pain after the operation. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain pills afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for total ankle replacement on one ankle.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40.
- You are not allergic to any of the study medicines (like bupivacaine, opioids, or NSAIDs).

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 ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two methods of numbing pain—an injection near the joint versus a nerve block—during ankle or hindfoot surgery. It aims to see which approach helps with comfort and recovery after surgery.
This study tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine called Exparel, given by the surgeon during knee replacement, helps control pain after surgery. It is for people having their first total knee replacement on one knee due to arthritis.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This trial tests two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
