ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two specific pain management techniques, called the IPACK block and the adductor canal block, to see how well they help patients recover after having arthroscopic knee surgery. This type of surgery is very common, but many patients experience significant pain afterward, which can slow down recovery and lead to other health issues. By testing these pain relief methods, the researchers hope to find ways to improve recovery quality for patients.

To participate in the study, you need to be between 18 and 50 years old and scheduled for knee surgery using spinal anesthesia. You should be in good health according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists' classification, which assesses medical risks. Unfortunately, if you have certain health conditions, like bleeding disorders, or if you are not able to cooperate during the study, you wouldn’t be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive one of the pain management techniques and help researchers understand which method works best for recovery after knee surgery.
