Smart glasses for numbing nerve block during knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if using smart glasses (like high-tech glasses that show a video) can help doctors give a more accurate numbing injection (nerve block) to the saphenous nerve for knee replacement surgery. The goal is to improve pain control after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a total knee replacement surgery.
- No infection at the groin area where the numbing injection is placed.
- Your BMI is 40 or less.

This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
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 trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve 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 compares two ways of numbing the thigh area (called a nerve block) before a double knee replacement, to see which one gives better pain relief and recovery. You will receive one method for one knee and the other method for the other knee, so you can help doctors find the best approach.
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.
