First seen Jan 18, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests if a continuous nerve catheter placed in the thigh provides better pain relief and reduces opioid use compared to a single nerve block after total knee replacement. About 64 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the catheter or a sham catheter plus a standard block. Researchers will track pain medication use for up to a week and check for chronic pain at 6 months after surgery.
