Comparing pain relief methods for ACL knee surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different groups of numbing injections to find which works better for pain after ACL knee surgery. The goal is to help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic surgery to rebuild your ACL (the main knee ligament).
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You will get spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected into your spine) for the surgery.
- You do not have infection near the injection site, nerve damage in your leg or spine, a bleeding disorder, or an allergy to the pain medicines used.

This trial tests two ways to manage pain after ACL reconstruction: a combination of medications (multimodal analgesia) versus a nerve block in the thigh (femoral block). The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks—one that numbs the front of the thigh and one that adds extra numbing behind the knee—to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery (like ACL or PCL repair). The goal is to help patients have less pain and recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after ACL reconstruction. It aims to find which approach provides better comfort and faster recovery.
This study compares two different numbing techniques to see which provides better pain control during and after total knee replacement. It may help find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two different types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after arthroscopic knee surgery. You will receive one of the blocks after your surgery, and your pain levels will be tracked.
