Pain relief after knee replacement: comparing two nerve blocks
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after a total knee replacement. The blocks are given during surgery to help manage pain afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 types of nerve blocks—iPACK and BiFeS—to see if they help people feel better and recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. It compares adding these blocks to the usual spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two different ways of numbing the leg to provide better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether adding a popliteal sciatic nerve block (behind the knee) to a saphenous block (inner thigh) works better than adding an IPACK block (back of the knee).
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.
