Comparing two types of knee numbing for double knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of numbing the thigh area (called a nerve block) before a double knee replacement, to see which one gives better pain relief and recovery. You will receive one method for one knee and the other method for the other knee, so you can help doctors find the best approach.
