ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07561333
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with severe postoperative pain that delays mobilization, prolongs hospital stay, and reduces patient satisfaction. Regional analgesia techniques have gained prominence due to their opioid-sparing effects and favorable complication profiles compared to general anesthesia.
