First seen Jan 18, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether a continuous pain-relief catheter placed in the thigh works better than a single injection to reduce opioid painkiller use after total knee replacement. About 64 adults scheduled for knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the catheter or a sham device. Researchers will track opioid use and pain levels for up to 6 months after surgery.
