Summary

This study reviewed records of 166 knee replacement patients who received a nerve block for pain. Researchers compared pain scores 6-24 hours after the block wore off between two groups: one that received extra education about pain management before surgery and one that did not. The goal is to see if the educational intervention helps reduce pain after the nerve block resolves.
