Pain Relief Methods for Knee Replacement Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Scheduled for primary (first-time) total knee replacement surgery
- Age between 18 and 80 years old

- Good overall health (ASA score I–III, meaning no serious heart, lung, or other conditions)
- Able to rate your pain on a simple 0–10 scale

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 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.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after replacement surgery. One uses a continuous nerve block in the thigh, and the other adds an extra injection behind the knee to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee after total knee replacement surgery to see which gives better pain relief. If you are having this surgery and want to manage pain without strong opioids, this trial might help you understand your options.
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 trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
