Knee replacement recovery: which pain block gets you home faster?
NCT ID NCT05715645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 130 people having knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis. It compared two ways to manage pain: one using a nerve block near the knee, and the other adding extra numbing medicine around the joint. The goal was to see which method helped patients recover faster and meet the criteria to leave the hospital sooner.
