This study is comparing two different methods of pain control for total knee replacement surgery in adults aged 18 to 65. Both methods involve a combination of pain relief techniques, but they differ in how one specific pain block, called an adductor canal block (ACB), is delivered. One group will receive a single shot of the ACB, while the other will receive a continuous adductor canal catheter (ACC) which delivers pain medicine over time. Researchers want to see which method leads to less opioid pain medication use in the first 24-48 hours after surgery. You may be eligible if you have osteoarthritis, are scheduled for a total knee replacement, speak English, live within an hour of the hospital, and have a smartphone. The study's current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study where 94 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups to compare different pain management techniques.

What's involved

You would receive either a single-shot adductor canal block or a continuous adductor canal catheter as part of your pain management during and after total knee replacement surgery.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your opioid consumption will be measured for 24-48 hours after your spinal anesthesia.
