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).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a type of nerve block called an adductor canal block (ACB) with or without another block (BiFeS) to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you are having knee replacement and are in good general health, this study may help improve your recovery.
This trial compares two different nerve-block methods to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways of numbing the knee area before total knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better for pain relief and patient comfort during and after the operation.
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.
This trial tests adding an extra nerve block (IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block to see if it improves pain, recovery, and inflammation after total knee replacement surgery.
