Knee replacement pain relief with added thigh block
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a second nerve block in the back of the thigh to the usual thigh block provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery. If you're having a knee replacement, this might help reduce pain and improve recovery.

This study compares two ways of numbing the thigh area (called a nerve block) before a double knee replacement, to see which one gives better pain relief and recovery. You will receive one method for one knee and the other method for the other knee, so you can help doctors find the best approach.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both are given along with a continuous pain pump, and the goal is to improve recovery with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. If you join, you'll receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and the researchers will track your pain, comfort, and recovery.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control after knee replacement surgery. One uses a standard block near the knee, and the other adds a second block to see if it improves pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve recovery.
