Evaluating the Addition of Obturator Nerve Block to Adductor Canal Block for Total Knee Arthroplasty
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Obturator nerve regional block, Adductor canal regional block, and 1 other intervention for Knee Osteoarthritis and Knee Rheumatism. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
One common anesthetic that is performed for total knee replacement surgery is spinal anesthesia with an adductor canal regional block, which involves injecting numbing medication in the thigh region for pain control after surgery. The aim of this study is to determine whether the addition of another regional block called obturator nerve block, which involves injecting numbing medication in the upper thigh region, will improve pain control after surgery while not sacrificing mobility after surgery.
