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.

- 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 trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
This study tests a long-acting numbing medicine (called liposomal bupivacaine) given before surgery to see if it reduces pain and confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. The goal is to help you recover more comfortably and with a clearer mind.
This study compares two pain-relieving medicines added to a numbing injection around the hip. The goal is to find which one works better and lasts longer after your hip surgery.
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 study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine) to see which one provides better pain relief and a shorter recovery for hip replacement surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of the two medications during your surgery and help doctors learn which is more effective for getting you home the same day.
This trial tests different amounts of a long-lasting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the nerve in your thigh to see which volume works best for controlling pain after knee surgery. If you qualify, you may receive better pain relief and need fewer opioids.
