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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of managing pain after a partial knee replacement. It tests a new pain medication placed in the knee during surgery against the usual numbing injection, to see which provides better relief and recovery.
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 study looks at a type of pain relief called a nerve block (adductor canal block) using a long-lasting medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this approach reduces pain and helps you recover better 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 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 ways to manage pain after knee replacement surgery: one uses a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine), the other uses extra medicines alongside the numbing block. The goal is to find which approach gives better pain relief and helps you recover more comfortably.
