Comparing anesthesia techniques for pain management after knee replacement surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates two different regional anesthesia protocols for patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. Participants will be randomized to receive either a continuous adductor canal block infusion combined with an ipack block or a continuous femoral nerve block with a sciatic nerve block. The goal is to determine which technique is more effective in reducing persistent postoperative pain six months after surgery. All patients will also receive multimodal analgesia to manage pain during recovery.
