Speeding Recovery from Spinal Anesthesia After Joint Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a way to make the leg numbness and weakness from spinal anesthesia wear off faster after joint replacement surgery. Researchers use a small tube (catheter) placed in your spine during the procedure to reverse the muscle block sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether giving dexmedetomidine (a sedative) through different routes can make spinal anesthesia last longer during hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help you stay comfortable after surgery with fewer additional pain medicines.
This study tests a new way to give anesthesia during leg surgery to improve blood flow. It aims to see if spinal anesthesia works better than general anesthesia for recovery and comfort.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid to spinal anesthesia can make the numbness last longer during knee arthroscopy. Knee arthroscopy is when a doctor looks inside your knee with a small camera.
This trial tests a special injection around the knee to improve pain control after knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
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 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.
