Effect of Different Adductor Canal Block Techniques on Pain After Knee Surgery
Investigation of the Effect of Proximal and Distal Adductor Canal Block on Pain Control and Functional Mobility in Total Knee Prosthesis Surgery Performed Under Spinal Anesthesia
This study is testing two different ways to give a nerve block to see which one helps people feel less pain and move better after knee surgery.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of two different approaches to adductor canal block in managing postoperative pain and improving functional mobility following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients undergoing unilateral TKA will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: those receiving a proximal adductor canal block, those receiving a distal adductor canal block, and a control group. The study aims to assess pain control and mobility outcomes in these groups to determine the optimal technique for pain management after knee surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-85 who are scheduled for unilateral total knee arthroplasty and have an ASA classification of 1-3.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit from this study include those under 18 or over 85 years of age, those with significant comorbidities, or those with contraindications to the procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with adductor canal blocks for pain management in knee surgeries, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
