Study tests two ways to ease pain after leg amputation

NCT ID NCT05140499

Summary

This study aimed to compare two methods for managing pain after a below-the-knee amputation. It tested a single long-acting numbing shot against a continuous nerve catheter that delivers pain medicine. The goal was to see which method better controlled pain and reduced the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
