Nerve blocks for better leg strength after knee replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during knee replacement surgery to see which one helps your thigh muscle recover strength faster. Both are standard care options; the trial tests which works better for early movement after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 20 years old and scheduled for a primary (first-time) knee replacement on one leg
- Your overall health is stable enough for surgery (ASA physical status I–III)
- You can walk on your own without help before surgery
- You can straighten your knee to less than 30 degrees before surgery (no tight knee contracture)
- You have no severe allergies to numbing medications or neurological conditions affecting leg strength
- You understand the study and can give written permission to participate

This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections around the knee) to see which works best for pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both approaches use the same anesthesia method, and researchers want to learn if adding an extra nerve block helps reduce 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 trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) around the knee to help manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve recovery compared to standard pain treatment.
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 study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement, using nerve blocks (injections that numb the nerves). One method combines a block near the upper thigh with a block behind the knee; the other combines the same upper-thigh block with a different block around the knee. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests whether a long-acting numbing medication injected near nerves during knee replacement surgery helps preserve muscle strength and reduce pain after surgery. If it works, it could help you recover better and need fewer strong painkillers.
