New study aims to find best pain relief combo for knee surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07288970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to manage pain after total knee replacement in 80 adults aged 65 and older. Both methods use a nerve block in the thigh (adductor canal block) plus either a block near the sacrum or one behind the knee. The goal is to see which combination provides longer-lasting pain relief, reduces the need for opioids, and helps patients move sooner after surgery.
