Nerve block comparison for knee replacement pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two numbing techniques (nerve blocks) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one works better and helps you recover with less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a total knee replacement on just one knee (not a second surgery or both knees at once).
- You do not have allergies to numbing medications or problems with bleeding or blood thinners.
- You do not have nerve damage, muscle weakness, or a history of severe organ problems (liver, kidney, or heart failure).
- You have not been using strong pain medicines (opioids) regularly or had substance abuse issues.
- You are considered healthy, or have mild to moderate health issues that are well managed (ASA class I–III).

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 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.
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 study compares two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether a block of the nerve in the thigh plus a block around the knee joint works better than the thigh block plus a block of specific knee nerves.
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.
