Summary
This study looked at whether giving a trigger point injection (a small shot of numbing medicine into tight muscle spots) right after knee replacement surgery can lower pain and reduce the need for opioid painkillers. Eleven adults having knee replacement took part. Some got the real injection, others got a sham (fake) injection. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost approach could help manage post-surgery pain more safely.
