New nerve block could slash pain meds after knee surgery
NCT ID NCT05720949
Summary
This study tested if adding a specific type of nerve block (genicular) to the standard pain control plan could reduce the need for opioid painkillers and improve pain management for people having ACL knee surgery. Researchers compared the new approach to the usual care in 192 patients. The main goal was to see if the added block could cut opioid use by about a third in the first day after surgery.
