Ultrasound-Guided Knee Block Study for Knee Replacement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using ultrasound to guide a numbing injection around the knee can improve pain control after knee replacement surgery. It aims to make recovery more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a first-time total knee replacement on one knee only.
- Your surgery will use spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down), not general anesthesia.
- You do not take strong painkillers (opioids) daily or have chronic pain.
- You do not have nerve damage from diabetes or other conditions.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that cannot be paused.
- You have no skin infection where the injection will be given.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).

This study tests whether adding a second nerve block in the back of the thigh to the usual thigh block provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you're having a knee replacement, this might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection near the thigh) combined with a tourniquet (pressure cuff) after knee replacement surgery reduces pain better than standard care. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
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 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.
This study tests whether adding an extra nerve block (called IPACK) to the standard one (adductor canal block) after knee replacement improves pain control and recovery better than the standard block alone. It aims to see if the combination reduces pain and swelling and helps you regain movement faster.
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.
