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 compares two different numbing medicines given as a spinal shot (numbing your legs) during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which one helps you recover faster and go home sooner.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine) to see which one provides better pain relief and a shorter recovery for hip replacement surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of the two medications during your surgery and help doctors learn which is more effective for getting you home the same day.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to spinal anesthesia can make the numbness last longer after knee or hip replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery without extra side effects.
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 study tests whether giving a drug called dexamethasone before spinal anesthesia shortens how long the numbing and muscle relaxation last. The goal is to help you recover feeling and movement sooner after surgery.
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.
