Comparing two pain relief methods for knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both methods aim to reduce pain without using strong opioids.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
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 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 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 different drugs (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a standard nerve block for knee replacement. It aims to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
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.
