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 trial tests whether adding a nerve block (a numbing injection near the nerve) to the usual pain plan can better control pain after a total knee replacement. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these blocks to help manage your pain after the operation.
This trial tests a nerve block that helps manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. It may reduce the need for strong painkillers and improve your recovery. The study is for people having their first knee replacement on one knee.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a total knee replacement: a nerve block (iPACK) versus injecting pain medicine around the knee. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (subsartorial and femoral) to see which provides better pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both are injections that numb the nerves around your knee to help with recovery.
