New study tests ways to cut painkiller use after knee surgery

NCT ID NCT07216586

Summary

This study compares two different approaches to managing pain after knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see whether a long-acting numbing medication injected around the knee joint works better than a nerve block in the thigh at reducing the need for opioid painkillers. The study will involve 120 adults having knee replacement surgery and will measure their pain levels and medication use for 72 hours after surgery.
