TENS pain-relief study for people getting hip replacement
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a device called TENS (a mild electrical pulse you feel on the skin) helps with comfort after hip replacement. It may help people feel better with less pain and fewer pain-related issues during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18 years old).
- You are scheduled to have a hip replacement surgery where the trial applies.
- You do not have a pacemaker and you do not have a heart rhythm problem.
- You have no past history of psychiatric illness or epilepsy.
- You have no drug or alcohol misuse history and have no history of chronic pain.
- You will be able to communicate and you can safely receive the TENS on intact skin (no wound where the electrode would go).

This study tests a special nerve block (PENG block) combined with a numbing medicine injection around the hip joint to provide better pain relief after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
This study tests if a TENS device, which uses mild electrical pulses to relieve pain, helps people recover better after their first total knee replacement. It might reduce pain and improve movement.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (TENS) can help reduce pain and improve sleep quality after inguinal hernia repair. If you are having planned hernia surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if using fewer opioids after hip replacement surgery can still control pain well. It uses a specific type of hip replacement called anterior total hip arthroplasty and aims to help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medicines.
