ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different pain relief methods for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery (also known as knee arthroplasty). The two methods being compared are called the Adductor Canal Block (ACB) and the Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG). Both techniques aim to help manage postoperative pain, which can be quite severe after surgery due to the procedure and the new joint being placed.

To participate in this trial, you should be between 18 and 85 years old and classified as having a low to moderate risk for surgery (according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists). You should also be scheduled for total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. However, if you have certain medical conditions, such as a bleeding disorder, are taking blood-thinning medications, or have allergies to local anesthetics or opioids, you may not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive either of the pain relief methods during their surgery and will be monitored for how well it works in reducing pain afterward. This study is currently recruiting participants and aims to improve the way pain is managed after knee surgery.
