Summary

This study tests whether a numbing injection (genicular nerve block) given before knee replacement surgery can lower pain and the need for strong painkillers afterward. About 70 adults with knee osteoarthritis will be randomly assigned to get either the nerve block or a placebo injection. Researchers will track pain levels, opioid use, and recovery for up to 3 months after surgery.
