Pain Relief Methods for Knee Replacement Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different numbing techniques used during knee replacement surgery to see which one works better for pain control and allows you to move your leg sooner after surgery. You'll receive one of two doses of a numbing medication (Naropeine) around your knee to help manage pain.

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 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.
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
This study tests a nerve-blocking injection to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain better in the days following their operation using a combination pain-control approach.
This study tests whether a special step-by-step numbing injection given before knee replacement surgery can provide better pain relief during and after the procedure. It may help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after surgery.
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.
