NCT ID NCT06875427

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving a numbing injection (adductor canal block) before ACL surgery helps teens recover better. About 38 participants aged 10-18 will either get the block plus standard anesthesia or standard anesthesia alone. The main goal is to see if the block improves recovery scores, pain, and opioid use in the first 6 weeks after surgery.
