Ultrasound-guided nerve block for knee surgery pain relief study.

Phase N/A

This study tests two types of pain relief methods after a Total Knee Replacement (TKA). The procedures involve blocking certain nerves to reduce pain. One method adds an anterior cutaneous nerve block, which involves numbing a small nerve near the skin's surface, to the standard adductor canal block. Adductor canal block numbs nerves in the leg. Two questions are asked: (1) Is the combination of methods better at reducing pain after surgery? (2) Does it lessen pain where a surgical drain is placed?

Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving the adductor canal block and the other receiving both blocks. Pain levels, muscle strength, and medicine use will be monitored for 24 hours after surgery. Participants must be having a TKA with spinal anesthesia and fall into categories ASA 1-3, which measures health status. Those allergic to bupivacaine (a numbing medicine) or with blood clotting problems cannot join.

  • Study involves monitoring over 24 hours post-surgery.
  • Participants will be divided into two different treatment groups.
  • Excludes those with bupivacaine allergy or blood clot issues.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
