NCT ID NCT07418307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two ways to numb the knee after total knee replacement in 50 elderly patients. One method combines two nerve blocks, the other uses a single block. Researchers will measure how long pain relief lasts and how much extra pain medicine is needed. The goal is to find a safer, more effective option for older adults.
