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 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 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.
This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (PENG+LFCN block vs QIPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after total hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement and are healthy enough for spinal anesthesia, you may qualify.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after total hip replacement. One block uses a standard numbing medicine, and the other adds a medication (dexmedetomidine) that may extend the pain relief. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing pain after surgery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—one on each side of the hip—to see if using both together provides better pain control after hip replacement surgery. It may help people who are having their first hip replacement with spinal anesthesia.
