      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: All knee joint replacement candidates, referred to Amir-al-Momenin Arak Hospital, who meet the inclusion criteria for the study, will be divided as a randomized block design by the in charge anesthesiologist; in the form of quadruple blocks: ABB, ABAB, BABA, ABBA, BAAB, BBAA; into two groups of Remifentanil and Apotel, Blinding description: In order to comply with Blindness, after obtaining informed consent from patients who are candidates for knee joint replacement, they are divided into two groups with equal numbers: A (Apotel) and B (Remifentanil). In group A (Apotel), 1 gram of Apotel in 100 cc of normal saline is placed on the infusion pump (syringe pump) by the anesthesiologist in charge of the plan to be infused within one hour after the surgery, and in group R (remifentanil) in which patients receive 0.5 gr/kg/min remifentanil in 100cc of normal saline infusion on a syringe pump to be infused within one hour during the surgery and blindness is also observed. None of the patients are aware of their placement in the study group, nor is the intern who is responsible for filling out the plan's questionnaire.</study_design>
      <phase>2-3</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Knee joint arthritis.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Group A (Apotel): For patients in this group, after spinal anesthesia and hemodynamic stability of the patient and the start of surgery, 1 gram of Apotel is poured into 200cc of normal saline and it is infused for the patient within one hour of the beginning of surgery. After the end of the surgery and ensuring stable hemodynamics and confirmation of anesthesiologist, the patient is transferred to the recovery room and the pain pump is prepared by the in charge anesthesiologist  at a speed of 8cc/hr until 12 hours after the surgery. 16 mg of dexamethasone, 8 mg of ondansetron and 10 mg of morphine will be poured inside the pain pump and its volume will be increased to 100 cc by normal saline and 2 grams of Apotel will be added to this solution. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In group R (remifentanil), after performing spinal anesthesia and ensuring hemodynamic stability and confirming anesthesia, and after the start of surgery, 0.5μ⁄ (kg/min) of remifentanil will be infused within one hour of the beginning of surgery. At the end of surgery and ensuring stable hemodynamics and confirmation of anesthesiologist, the patient will be transferred to the recovery room and the pain pump will be prepared by the in charge anesthesiologist at a speed of 8cc/h until 12 hours after surgery. In both groups, 16 mg of dexamethasone and 8 mg of ondansetron, 10 mg of morphine will be placed inside the pain pump, and its volume will be increased to 100 cc by normal saline. In addition to the basic composition of the pain pump that was mentioned, 2 mg of remifentanil equivalent to 1 vial will be placed inside the pain pump under the supervision of an anesthetist.</i_freetext>
