Pain pump or nerve block: which works better after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07349810
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods for controlling pain after same-day orthopedic surgeries like ACL repair or rotator cuff surgery. One group gets a continuous pain pump that delivers numbing medicine for days, while the other gets a single injection nerve block before surgery. Researchers will track pain scores and painkiller use over 14 days to see which approach works better.
