Long-lasting numbing medicine for knee replacement recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) given during knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see if it helps preserve muscle strength after surgery while still controlling pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a type of pain relief called a nerve block (adductor canal block) using a long-lasting medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this approach reduces pain and helps you recover better after surgery.
This study tests two types of pain relief injections after total knee replacement to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects. It compares a long-lasting liposome bupivacaine to standard bupivacaine, given in two different nerve block locations.
This trial tests different amounts of a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the nerve in your thigh to see which volume works best for controlling pain after knee surgery. If you qualify, you may receive better pain relief and need fewer opioids.
This Phase 2 study compares two ways of reducing nerve pain after knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty). It looks at whether steroid-enhanced pain medicine works better than a different numbing injection to improve recovery and comfort.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during knee replacement surgery to see which one helps your thigh muscle recover strength faster. Both are standard care options; the trial tests which works better for early movement after surgery.
This trial tests a new type of pain medicine that is given during knee replacement surgery and slowly releases pain relief over several days. It may help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
