New approach aims to cut opioid use after knee surgery

NCT ID NCT05981105

Summary

This study is testing two different methods to manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see if using a small, temporary catheter that continuously delivers numbing medicine to the leg is better than a standard single injection at reducing the need for opioid painkillers. They will compare pain levels, recovery speed, and long-term outcomes in 64 patients over six months to find the best way to control pain with fewer medications.
