Clinical Trial: Migration Rate for Continuous Adductor Canal Block Catheters After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery: a Comparison Between Two Insertion Techniques

U.S., July 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07681622) titled 'Migration Rate for Continuous Adductor Canal Block Catheters After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery: a Comparison Between Two Insertion Techniques' on June 19.

Brief Summary: Continuous adductor canal block (CACB) is becoming increasingly popular for providing postoperative analgesia following knee arthroplasties. These continuous blocks are provided through inserted nerve catheters and effectively extend the duration of analgesia, thereby reducing opioid consumption. This, in turn, helps minimize opioid-related side effects, promotes early ambulation, and supports earlier discharge. However, catheter migration remains a signi...
