Knee surgery pain showdown: which technique spares more morphine?
NCT ID NCT03620136
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looked at two methods to control pain after total knee replacement: a nerve block in the thigh (adductor channel block) and injecting numbing medicine around the knee joint (periarticular infiltration). The goal was to see which one reduces the need for morphine and helps patients recover faster. About 100 adults having their first knee replacement took part, and researchers measured how much morphine they used and their pain levels.
