Long-lasting pain relief after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of pain medicine that is given during knee replacement surgery and slowly releases pain relief over several days. It may help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.

This study compares two types of pain relief for people having knee replacement surgery: a newer long-acting medication called Zynrelef versus the usual injections given around the knee. The goal is to find out which works better for controlling pain after surgery.
This study tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around the knee during total knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this medicine helps control pain and reduce the need for other painkillers after surgery.
This study compares two ways to give pain medicine during knee replacement surgery: one is injected into the bone, the other around the joint. Researchers want to see which works better and may help you recover with less pain.
This trial tests whether a nerve block injected near the knee (with a long-acting pain medicine) works better for controlling pain after a scheduled knee replacement. It may help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
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.
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
