Nerve block during hip replacement for less postoperative pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be willing to sign consent and follow the study plan for the whole study period
- You are planning a total hip replacement using an anterior (Smith-Peterson) surgical approach
- Your overall health risk level is ASA 1 to 3 (based on your doctor’s assessment)
- You are not an opioid user (not taking or having taken opioid doses equivalent to common strong opioids for at least a week)
- You do not have a history of chronic pain or ankylosing spondylitis
- You can’t be allergic to any study medicines, and the surgery plan can’t switch to general anesthesia

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. If you join, you'll receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and the researchers will track your pain, comfort, and 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 trial compares two types of pain relief after a hip replacement: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the hip) versus a small dose of morphine given through a spinal needle. It aims to find out which option works better with fewer side effects.
This trial compares three types of nerve blocks to find which provides the best pain relief after a hip replacement. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: one uses a spinal injection with morphine, and the other uses a nerve block near the hip. The nerve block may include an extra medicine called dexamethasone to see if it improves pain relief.
This trial compares two nerve-block techniques to see which one gives better pain control during and after total hip replacement surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable and possibly reduce the need for pain medicine.
