Assessing Function and Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty With Combined Femoral and Popliteal Nerve Block

NCT ID: NCT06196359

Last Updated: 2024-01-12

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 34 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2022-11-01
• Study Completion Date: 2023-08-14

Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to examine whether a pain management technique of combined femoral and popliteal nerve block is effective in total knee arthroplasty patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Are there differences in postoperative outcomes? Does the nerve block, age, preoperative quadriceps muscle strength and Oxford Knee Score of the patient predict early functional ability? Participants underwent total knee arthroplasty and assessments. Researchers compared pain management techniques to assess effects on postoperative outcomes and identified the importance of preoperative variables a predictors of early functional ability. Further research is required to refine postoperative pain management strategies.

Study Groups

Combined Femoral and Popliteal nerve block

Patients who receive a Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty received a combined femoral and popliteal nerve block (single-shot of each) during the surgical procedure.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Combined Femoral and Popliteal nerve block

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

Patients who receive a combined femoral and popliteal nerve block during surgery, fill out a questionnaire and undergo a muscle strength test before surgery, undergo functional tests, a muscle strength test and are asked about pain intensity after surgery.

Control group

Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and didn\'t receive pain block.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
