Pain and painkiller use after knee replacement
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how much pain and which painkillers patients need after total knee replacement surgery. It compares two anesthesia methods to find which one works better for pain control.
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 study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different ways of giving a nerve block (called iPACK) to see which works better for pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find the best spot for the injection to help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
This study looks at how "rebound pain" (increased pain when pain medication wears off) affects long-term pain after total knee replacement. Researchers want to understand this connection and potentially improve pain management strategies for knee surgery patients.
This study tests a new way to manage pain after total knee replacement. It aims to see if a specific local pain block can reduce the need for strong opioids and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: local numbing medicine injected into the knee versus numbing several nerves in the leg. The goal is to find which method provides better pain control and recovery.
