Clinical Trial: Comparison of Anterior Sciatic Nerve Block and Adductor Magnus Muscle Plane Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery

U.S., May 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07601529) titled 'Comparison of Anterior Sciatic Nerve Block and Adductor Magnus Muscle Plane Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery' on May 11.

Brief Summary: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequently associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain despite its arthroscopic nature, owing to the complex sensory innervation of the knee involving the femoral, sciatic, and obturator nerves. Multimodal analgesic strategies, particularly peripheral nerve blocks, are therefore widely used to improve postoperative pain control and reduce opioid consumption. Although anterior sciatic nerve block can be combined with adductor can...
