An interventional study of IPACK and adductor canal block with Bupivacaine 0.25% and Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Knee Surgery, sponsored by Sakarya University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-02-06.
Sponsored by Sakarya University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in orthopedic surgery. More than 50% of patients experience moderate to severe pain after the operation. Inadequate postoperative pain control and poor recovery quality can negatively impact physiotherapy protocols, prolong hospital stays, and consequently lead to cognitive dysfunction, systemic infections, and increased healthcare costs.
Therefore, reducing postoperative pain and improving recovery quality are of great importance. In our clinic, a variety of analgesic techniques are routinely employed as part of a multimodal analgesia approach for patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. One of these techniques is the simultaneous application of the IPACK block and the adductor canal block.
In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of these blocks on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:
Group 1 will involve the patients which will be applied iPACK and adductor canal blocks in addition to spinal anesthesia.
Procedure: IPACK and adductor canal block with Bupivacaine 0.25% · Procedure: Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine
Group 2 will involve the patients which will be applied only spinal anesthesia without additional peripheric nerve blocks.
Procedure: Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine
iPACK block is infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the Knee. iPACK and adductor canal blocks are performed with ultrasound guidence under sterile conditions.
Spinal Anesthesia is a basic anesthesia method used for years to grant anesthesia for surgeries for lower extremities and lower torso surgeries.
Quality of Recovery
Quality of Recovery of the patients will be assessed with QoR-15 questionnaire. Its scoring will range between 0 and 150 points.
Time frame: 24 hours.
Analgesic Consumption
The total analgesic consumption of patients according to the patient controlled analgesia device which measures the opioid consumption for 24 hours.
Time frame: 24 hours.
Plan to share: Undecided
