NCT ID NCT06703580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 150 adults having knee arthroscopy to see which dose of a short-acting spinal anesthetic (prilocaine) allows patients to urinate and go home fastest. Participants received one of three doses (40, 50, or 60 mg). The goal is to improve day-surgery recovery by reducing time to first void and other side effects.
