Nerve block comparison for pain after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks and use a patient-controlled pain pump, and the study will track their pain levels and recovery.
