Knee replacement pain study: which nerve block helps you recover faster?

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief and recovery after total knee replacement surgery. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either an IPACK block or a genicular nerve block, both combined with an adductor canal block. Researchers will measure how well patients can move their knee (using the 6-Clicks score), pain levels, opioid use, hospital stay length, and satisfaction. The goal is to find which block offers better pain control and faster functional recovery.
