NCT ID NCT07442123
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 90 adults having knee replacement surgery to see which nerve block technique works better for pain control and getting patients moving sooner. One group got a fascia iliaca plane block, the other got a combination of adductor canal and IPACK blocks. Researchers measured pain, opioid use, and how early patients could walk.
