Nerve block during hip replacement surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests whether a specific nerve block to numb the lower back area can make total hip replacement surgery more comfortable. It looks at patients who are having planned (elective) hip replacement and whether the nerve block is safe and works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) having a planned total hip replacement
- You do not have a known allergy to local numbing medicines (local anesthetics)
- You do not have peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage causing numbness/tingling)
- You are not taking opioid pain medicines on most days for at least 90 days
- You do not have reasons you cannot safely receive spinal or regional anesthesia (for example, serious bleeding problems or an infection near the injection area)

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.
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after a total hip replacement. The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
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 a specific nerve block after hip replacement surgery to see if it is safe and helps with pain. It may reduce the amount of pain medication you need after surgery.
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.
