Nerve blocks for pain after knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (one at the knee, one near the groin) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. It aims to find out which provides better pain control and recovery with fewer side effects.

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks and use a patient-controlled pain pump, and the study will track their pain levels and recovery.
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 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 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 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 trial compares two ways to numb the knee area after knee replacement surgery, both using nerve blocks. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief and recovery.
