Nerve block pain relief for hip surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a specific nerve pain-block (called FAB) versus a placebo during hip arthroplasty (hip replacement). It aims to see whether the nerve block helps control pain and reduces the need for other pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having hip arthroplasty (hip replacement)
- You are 18 to 60 years old
- Your BMI is 35 or less
- You have no known nerve problems (especially in the thigh area nerves) before surgery
- You can safely receive regional anesthesia (nerve block), meaning you do not have a bleeding problem or take blood thinners that make it unsafe
- You are not pregnant and can give informed consent

This study tests a new nerve-blocking technique called the Quadro-Iliac Plane (QIP) block to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. The block numbs the area around your hip so you may need less pain medicine after surgery.
This trial studies two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. If you are having hip surgery and want to help find the best way to manage pain, this study may be for you.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (SFIB and PENG) to find which provides better anesthesia during total hip replacement. It may help you understand which pain control approach could work best for your surgery.
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block given during planned hip replacement surgery can reduce pain afterward. It may help you use less opioid pain medicine, but you must meet certain safety and medication criteria.
This trial compares three different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It may help older adults with moderate health status who are having hip surgery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain relief after hip arthroscopy. The blocks are numbing injections around the hip, and you would use a pain pump to control extra pain medicine as needed.
