Recruiting studies
- NCT05993845Recruiting
Hip replacement surgery study
This study looks at how doctors plan and perform hip replacement surgery using a special front approach. It may help improve how the surgery is done.
Baden, Canton of AargauAges 18 years+ - NCT05587244Enrolling by invitation
Hip liner study for people getting a hip replacement
This study looks at a specific type of hip replacement liner (the part inside the hip joint) and how well it works after surgery. You might be eligible if you’re planning a one-sided hip replacement and don’t have certain infection, bone, or health problems that could affect healing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05547984Recruiting
Ceramic hip implant study for first-time hip replacement
This trial tests a specific type of ceramic “dual mobility” hip implant for people getting their first total hip replacement (cementless). It may help reduce certain hip problems by using a designed implant that’s meant to move more safely.
Ústí nad LabemAges 18 years+ - NCT05221554Recruiting
Pre-surgery hip replacement modeling study
This trial tests a new way to plan hip replacement surgery using a CT scan. It may help doctors place the new hip more accurately, which could lead to better outcomes.
London, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT04277416Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new hip replacement system and how patients do
This study follows people getting a primary total hip replacement using the Entrada hip system to see how long it lasts and how well it works. You may be offered this specific hip implant and would be followed through study visits to measure recovery and outcomes.
Portland, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT07581470Recruiting
Steroid Injection to Reduce Pain After Hip Replacement Surgery
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) through an IV line during hip replacement surgery reduces pain afterward. Researchers will compare three different doses to see which works best when combined with a nerve block (numbing medicine injected near the hip).
PoznanAges 18–100 - NCT05721859Recruiting
Study of a hip implant viewing feature during revision surgery
This study checks how well a specific hip implant component (the M‑Vizion femoral component) can be used during revision total hip replacement. It aims to see whether the implant’s intended design works reliably for patients who need hip revision surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 21–80 - NCT06308965Recruiting
Does blood vessel-sparing hip replacement improve recovery?
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total hip replacement using an anterior approach. The goal is to see if saving the small blood vessels around the hip during surgery leads to a better recovery for patients.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07227064RecruitingPhase 3
Methadone for pain relief after hip replacement surgery
This study tests whether a single dose of methadone given during hip replacement surgery can better control pain and reduce the need for other opioid painkillers afterward. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT05898581Recruiting
Compare two pain block methods for hip replacement surgery
This trial studies whether one type of numbing injection (a PENG block) works better than another method (local anesthetic injected into the surgical area) to control pain during and after total hip replacement. It may help choose the best pain plan for people having a specific surgical approach.
London, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT05653687Recruiting
Hip replacement surgery: X-ray guidance versus usual hand placement
This trial compares two ways of guiding hip replacement surgery during the operation. It may help improve how accurately the surgeon places the hip components and how well patients do afterward.
Lugano, Canton TicinoAges 18–90 - NCT04147559Enrolling by invitation
Long-term follow-up for a specific hip replacement stem
This study checks how well a particular hip replacement stem (the PROFEMUR Preserve Classic Femoral Stem) and matching parts keep working over many years. You may be invited if you had that exact hip replacement combination and can return for long-term checkups.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07651462Recruiting
Fasting Before Hip Surgery and Gut Health
This study tests whether fasting for 20 days before hip replacement surgery changes your gut bacteria in ways that might help your recovery. Researchers want to understand if this dietary approach affects how well you heal after the operation.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18–75 - NCT06807866RecruitingPhase 4
Duloxetine for pain after hip replacement surgery
This trial tests if duloxetine, a medication that helps with nerve pain, can reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. It may help patients who are having a first-time total hip replacement.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05658796Recruiting
Program to reduce opioid use after hip or knee replacement
This trial tests a support program called RXWell to help people use less opioid pain medicine after elective hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help by addressing anxiety and depression symptoms that can affect pain and recovery.
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT06275776Recruiting
Wound recovery after total hip replacement
This study tests a new way of closing the wound after hip replacement surgery to see if it helps healing and reduces complications. It is for people having their first total hip replacement through the anterior approach.
Zoetermeer, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06432543Recruiting
Wear particle study in revision hip replacement
This study looks at tiny plastic particles that wear off from artificial hip joints over time. Researchers will study these particles from tissue taken during revision hip replacement surgery to understand how they affect the body.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 20 years+
