Comparing pain relief methods after ACL surgery
Analgesic Efficacy of Genicular Nerve Block Versus Local Anaesthetic Infiltration Between Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee (IPACK Block ) in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair by Knee Arthroscopy . A Randomized Controlled Prospective Study .
NA · Beni-Suef University · NCT06404658
This study is testing two different pain relief methods after ACL surgery to see which one helps patients feel better with fewer side effects.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different nerve block techniques, the genicular nerve block and the IPACK block, in managing postoperative pain for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair. The research aims to determine which method provides better analgesia while minimizing complications and preserving motor function. Patients aged 18 to 45 with a BMI under 40 will be included, and the study will be conducted at Beni-Suef University Hospital. The findings could enhance pain management strategies following ACL surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 18 to 45 with a BMI under 40 who are undergoing ACL repair.
Not a fit: Patients with a BMI over 40, those with allergies to local anesthetics, or those with anticoagulation issues may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management techniques for patients recovering from ACL surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising outcomes with similar nerve block techniques in managing postoperative pain, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
