Finding the right anesthesia depth for knee replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.

This study tests whether adding two types of nerve blocks plus two medicines can improve pain relief and recovery after knee replacement surgery. It may help patients have less pain and need fewer opioids.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general and spinal) for people having a total hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see which approach is better for recovery and overall outcomes.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
This trial compares the effects of two types of anaesthesia—one that puts you fully asleep (general anaesthesia) versus one that numbs the lower half of your body while you stay awake (spinal anaesthesia)—for people having knee or hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer problems, so you can go home the same day.
This study tests a new way to manage pain after total knee replacement. It aims to see if a specific local pain block can reduce the need for strong opioids and improve recovery.
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.
