Can a nerve block reduce pain after hip surgery?
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nerve block called PLIA can lower pain right after hip-preserving surgery (PAO) for hip dysplasia. If you are a teen or young adult having this surgery, this study could help manage your pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a teenager or young adult with hip dysplasia
- You are scheduled for hip-preserving surgery (PAO) at the University of Iowa Hospital
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not allergic to any of the study medications
- You are not having other bone surgery like femoral osteotomy or hip dislocation at the same time

This study tests a special nerve-blocking technique (PENG block) to manage pain during hip surgery in children ages 3–8. Researchers measure immune markers in the blood to understand how well this pain-relief method works and how it affects the body's healing response.
This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for children having hip surgery. One uses a PENG block with LFCB, the other an ESP block; the goal is to see which provides better pain control.
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block can reduce pain after a hip socket surgery. The results could help improve recovery and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
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 nerve blocks to see which better controls pain after hip replacement surgery and may reduce the need for pain medications. It helps determine the most effective pain management approach for recovery.
