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 Phase 2 study compares two ways to reduce pain after total knee replacement (TKA): a steroid-enhanced nerve block versus a numbing shot called Exparel. It aims to see which option improves comfort and recovery after surgery done with spinal anesthesia.
This trial is testing whether adding two medicines (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) to the numbing shots (nerve blocks) used during knee replacement surgery can improve pain control and recovery. The study is for people aged 60 to 100 who are having a knee replacement under spinal anesthesia.
This study compares different ways of giving steroid medicine after a total knee replacement to see which approach works best and is well-tolerated. You may qualify if you’re getting a first (not repeat) knee implant and can follow the study steps.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection (bupivacaine) inside the knee joint provides better pain relief after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. It aims to help patients recover more comfortably after surgery.
This trial tests two different drugs (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a standard nerve block for knee replacement. It aims to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
