Prilocaine for spinal anesthesia in same-day knee surgery
This trial studies a numbing medicine called prilocaine, given through a spinal injection, for knee arthroscopy done as an outpatient. The goal is to understand how well it works and its effects in this specific setting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for knee arthroscopy as an outpatient (you go home the same day).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not staying in the hospital overnight.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two spinal anesthesia drugs (chloroprocaine and mepivacaine) for people having total knee replacement as an outpatient. The goal is to see which drug works better for recovery and same-day discharge.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid to spinal anesthesia can make the numbness last longer during knee arthroscopy. Knee arthroscopy is when a doctor looks inside your knee with a small camera.
This study tests whether giving bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) around the time of knee arthroscopy can reduce pain at the surgery sites and help you move your knee better after the operation.
This trial tests whether adding a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) to the standard numbing injection around the knee can improve pain control after total knee replacement. It might help you have less pain and need fewer opioids.
This trial tests two different numbing medicines for knee replacement surgery. It compares a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) with a standard one (ropivacaine) mixed with other drugs to see which provides better pain control. The goal is to find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests if using a mix of two different numbing medicines (local anesthetics) for a nerve block around the back of the knee provides better pain relief after certain below-knee surgeries. If you are having elective surgery on your ankle, foot, or lower leg, this study may be a good fit.
