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 study tests whether adding two types of nerve blocks plus two medicines can improve pain relief and recovery after knee replacement surgery. It may help patients have less pain and need fewer opioids.
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a PENG block) given around the hip joint to see how well it controls pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and are in generally good health, this study may help find better ways to manage your post-surgery pain.
This trial compares three types of nerve blocks to find which provides the best pain relief after a hip replacement. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: one uses a spinal injection with morphine, and the other uses a nerve block near the hip. The nerve block may include an extra medicine called dexamethasone to see if it improves pain relief.
This study tests a new pain-relief injection given during hip replacement surgery to reduce pain after the operation. The goal is to help patients recover with less discomfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medications.
