Comparing two nerve blocks for pain after knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled to have one knee replaced (total knee arthroplasty).
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must be in generally good health or have mild to moderate health issues (classified as ASA I–III).
- You cannot be obese (BMI greater than 30).
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes, opioid dependence, allergies to local anesthetics, bleeding problems, or an infection at the knee injection site.

This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after replacement surgery. One uses a continuous nerve block in the thigh, and the other adds an extra injection behind the knee to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain after a total knee replacement: a nerve block (iPACK) versus injecting pain medicine around the knee. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 types of nerve blocks for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Both are injections around the knee that numb the area, and the goal is to find which one works better.
