Nerve blocks for pain relief after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery.

This trial tests adding an extra nerve block (IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block to see if it improves pain, recovery, and inflammation after total knee replacement surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—iPACK and BiFeS—to see if they help people feel better and recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. It compares adding these blocks to the usual spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests a type of nerve block called an adductor canal block (ACB) with or without another block (BiFeS) to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you are having knee replacement and are in good general health, this study may help improve your recovery.
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 trial tests two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections around the knee) to see which works best for pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both approaches use the same anesthesia method, and researchers want to learn if adding an extra nerve block helps reduce pain and improve recovery.
