NCT ID NCT06084403
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested different volumes of an ultrasound-guided nerve block (adductor canal block) to manage pain after total knee replacement. 90 adults scheduled for knee replacement under spinal anesthesia received one of two volumes. The goal was to see which volume reduces opioid use and pain scores in the first 48 hours after surgery.
