Comparing two nerve-block methods for knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee area before total knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better for pain relief and patient comfort during and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after total knee replacement. The blocks are given before surgery and aim to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
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 study compares two different nerve block techniques for pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It tests whether a block of the nerve in the thigh plus a block around the knee joint works better than the thigh block plus a block of specific knee nerves.
This study looks at whether using ultrasound to guide a numbing injection around the knee can improve pain control after knee replacement surgery. It aims to make recovery more comfortable.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. If you are 65 or older and having your first knee replacement, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain control after knee replacement surgery. Both methods aim to reduce pain without using strong opioids.
