NCT ID NCT07423754
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common anesthesia methods for knee arthroscopy: spinal anesthesia and a lumbar/sciatic nerve block. Researchers want to see how each affects heart electrical signals and inflammation levels. The trial involves 80 adults aged 18-65 undergoing elective knee surgery.
