ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at different methods to manage pain after total knee replacement surgery. Specifically, it compares two types of nerve blocks: one involves an injection in the area between the popliteal artery and the back of the knee (called the IPACK block) combined with another block (the adductor canal block), while the other group will only receive the adductor canal block. The goal is to see which method helps reduce pain and allows patients to start moving around more quickly after their surgery.

To participate in this trial, you should be an adult and meet certain health criteria. For example, you need to be able to give your consent and not have serious health issues, such as certain blood disorders or neuromuscular conditions. If you join the study, you will receive one of the two pain management techniques after your surgery, and the researchers will monitor how well it works by asking about your pain levels. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to improve recovery experiences for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
