First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will observe 50 adults undergoing total knee replacement to see how different anesthesia methods affect pain and painkiller use in the first 48 hours after surgery. Participants receive either general anesthesia with a nerve block, spinal anesthesia with a nerve block, spinal anesthesia alone, or general anesthesia with an epidural. The goal is to identify which approach provides better pain control and fewer side effects.
