First seen Jan 18, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests if a continuous pain-relief catheter placed near the knee works better than a single injection for controlling pain after total knee replacement. About 64 adults will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers and lowers the risk of long-term pain.
