Ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain management after knee surgery
The Efficacy of Different Volumes for Ultrasound-Guided Adductor Canal Block for Postoperative Analgesia Management After Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery
This study is testing different amounts of a nerve block to see which one helps people feel less pain after knee surgery without making it hard for them to move their legs.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of different volumes of ultrasound-guided adductor canal blocks (ACB) in providing postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The ACB selectively targets the saphenous nerve, aiming to reduce pain without causing quadriceps muscle weakness, which is crucial for patient mobility post-surgery. By comparing volumes of 20 ml, 30 ml, and 40 ml, the study seeks to determine the optimal volume for pain relief while minimizing opioid use and its associated side effects. The research is conducted at Bursa City Hospital, focusing on improving postoperative care for knee surgery patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients classified as ASA I-III who are scheduled for total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of bleeding disorders, those on anticoagulant therapy, or individuals with allergies to local anesthetics or opioids may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance pain management and recovery for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with adductor canal blocks in similar surgical settings, indicating a promising approach.
