Comparing pain relief options for knee replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.

This trial tests different doses of a long-acting painkiller (liposomal bupivacaine) injected into a nerve block in the thigh to see which dose works best for pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help you have better pain control and recover faster.
This study compares two ways of using numbing injections during total knee replacement surgery to see which better reduces pain. It may help you and your care team understand the safest and most effective pain-control approach.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (a newer longer-lasting one and a standard one) given as a nerve block in the thigh to control pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine, the other uses extra medications during nerve blocks. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
