Pain block vs. placebo for hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special pain block (a shot that numbs the hip area) gives better pain relief after hip replacement surgery compared to a placebo (a shot with no medicine). If it works, it could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new numbing injection near the hip to see if it improves pain control after hip surgery. It may help you require less pain medicine and feel more comfortable during recovery.
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 pain blocks given during hip replacement surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. Participants will receive one of the two blocks along with spinal anesthesia to help manage pain after surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing blocks used during hip replacement surgery to see which provides better pain relief. Both blocks are given near the hip to help reduce pain after 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 study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
