Total Hip Replacement clinical trials

Hip screws or hip replacement for small hip fractures

This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.

New hip replacement implant for painful worn-out hip joints

This trial studies a specific hip replacement implant system in people whose hip pain is from worn-out (non-inflammatory) joint disease like osteoarthritis. It compares outcomes by tracking pain and function before and after surgery, and you must be able to return for follow-up visits.

Dressing and wound care experiences after hip or knee replacement

This study looks at how people care for their surgical wounds and dressings after hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to learn what helps patients feel more comfortable and confident in their recovery.

Comparing two ways to give tranexamic acid during hip replacement

This study compares two ways of giving a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) during total hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which method is better at reducing blood loss during and after the operation.

Electromagnetic therapy to reduce pain after hip replacement

This study tests whether a special electromagnetic therapy, added to standard recovery exercises, can reduce pain and improve movement after hip replacement surgery. The therapy is non-invasive and may help you regain function faster.

Nerve blocks for pain after hip replacement

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which better controls pain after hip replacement surgery and may reduce the need for pain medications. It helps determine the most effective pain management approach for recovery.

Binaural beats for pain and anxiety after surgery

This trial tests if listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) after hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. You would receive the sound therapy through headphones while in the recovery room.

Comparing keeping vs removing the labrum in hip replacement

This study compares two ways of handling the labrum (a rim of tissue around the hip socket) during a total hip replacement: keeping it or removing it. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for people with hip osteoarthritis.

Comparing two massage techniques after hip replacement

This study compares two types of massage therapy after hip replacement surgery to see which one works better for recovery. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of the two massage methods and will practice it at home for 6 weeks.

Nerve block for pain after hip replacement

This study tests whether a nerve block injection in the back (called an erector spinae plane block) can provide better pain relief after a first-time hip replacement. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers.

Choose to Move replacement study for older adults

This study tests a program called Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR) designed for older adults. It looks at how well activity coaches and healthcare referral partners can help people get active.

Understanding long-term pain after hip or knee replacement

This study looks at people who still have moderate to severe pain months after a hip or knee replacement. The goal is to learn more about what causes this pain and how it feels, which could help improve future treatments.

Rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement

This trial tests if three weeks of intensive rehabilitation helps people who still have physical problems after a total hip or knee replacement. It aims to improve your recovery and function.

Health coaching for people waiting for hip or knee replacement

This study tests whether health coaching can help people who are waiting for hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve your health and wellbeing while you wait for your operation.

Joint replacement surgery registry study

This study collects information from people having joint replacement surgery to track how they do over time and improve care.

Game-based balance rehab after hip replacement

This study tests a fun, game-based balance exercise program for people recovering from their first hip replacement. It may help you improve your balance and recover faster.

Study of HARMONY Evolution hip replacement implants

This study looks at how well HARMONY Evolution implants and tools work for people getting a total hip replacement. It will help doctors understand if the implants are safe and effective over time.

Testing antibiotic delivery method for hip replacement surgery

This study compares a new way of delivering antibiotics directly into the bone during hip replacement surgery versus the standard IV method. The goal is to see if this approach prevents infection just as well while potentially improving outcomes.

Testing hip implant cement amount for better stability

This study compares hip implant “migration” (how the implant may slowly shift) when a cemented hip cup is used with different cement approaches. It may help surgeons choose the option that keeps the implant more stable over time.

Pre-surgery optimization for hip or knee replacement

This trial tests a program to improve your health before hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to help you recover better and reduce risks.

Choose to Move Replacement Ready study

This study looks at a program called Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR) for older adults and the people who help them get active. It tests how well the program works for activity coaches, participants, and healthcare referral partners.

Pain relief after hip replacement without opioids

This study tests a combination of non-opioid pain medicines to reduce the need for opioids after hip replacement surgery. It aims to help patients manage pain with fewer risks of addiction and side effects.

Hip replacement study using a reverse hip implant

This trial looks at how safe and well a specific “reverse” hip implant works in people who need their first total hip replacement. It may help by improving pain and hip function, while closely tracking safety during and after surgery.
