Pain relief after hip surgery: long-acting vs standard numbing medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome) combined with a standard numbing medicine works better for pain control after hip fracture surgery. It compares two different combinations to see which provides more effective pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in ASA physical status class I or II (generally healthy or mild disease).
- Your blood clotting tests are normal (no bleeding disorder).
- You have a hip fracture that needs surgical repair.
- You are not allergic to amide-type local anesthetics (like bupivacaine or ropivacaine).

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 compares two types of numbing medicine (a newer longer-lasting one and a standard one) given as a nerve block in the thigh to control pain after total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study compares two common numbing medicines used during hip replacement surgery to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. You'll receive spinal anesthesia (numbing injected near your spine) with either ropivacaine or bupivacaine, and researchers will track how long the pain relief lasts.
This study tests whether a one-time nerve block with a longer-lasting numbing medicine can reduce pain after hip replacement surgery better than the standard approach. It may help you use fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable while you recover.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip surgery. One block targets the capsule around the hip joint, while the other adds blocks for nearby nerves. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) given before surgery can reduce pain and lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after hip fracture repair in older adults.
