New nerve block aims to ease pain after knee replacement
NCT ID NCT07568106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a new nerve block to standard pain treatment can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. About 132 adults having knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard block alone or the standard block plus the new block. The goal is to see if the extra block provides better pain relief, especially in the back of the knee, and helps patients move sooner.
