General vs spinal anesthesia for same-day knee or hip replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares general anesthesia (being fully asleep) with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) for outpatient knee or hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer side effects so you can go home the same day.

This study compares two types of anesthesia (general and spinal) for people having a total hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see which approach is better for recovery and overall outcomes.
This trial compares total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with spinal anesthesia for people having a first-time total knee replacement who are expected to go home the same day. The goal is to see which method works better for recovery and comfort.
This trial compares two spinal anesthesia drugs (chloroprocaine and mepivacaine) for people having total knee replacement as an outpatient. The goal is to see which drug works better for recovery and same-day discharge.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during hip replacement surgery: one that uses less opioid pain medicine by using a special monitor (CARDEAN® Index) and one that uses no opioids at all. It aims to find which approach gives better pain control and recovery.
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.
This study looks at recovery after total knee replacement surgery. It compares people who had spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) to those who had general anesthesia (being fully asleep) to see which group recovers better.
