NCT ID NCT07257757
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at whether adding a continuous nerve block (fascia iliaca compartment block) to a standard joint injection can better control pain after total knee replacement. Researchers reviewed records of 60 patients to compare pain scores and satisfaction. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to manage post-surgery pain.
