First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study compared two types of nerve blocks—the erector spinae plane block and the adductor canal block—for managing pain after total knee replacement surgery. Sixty adults undergoing knee replacement received one of the two blocks, and researchers measured how much pain medication they needed afterward. The goal was to find which block provides better pain relief and reduces the need for opioids.
