Nerve block vs. no block for hip surgery pain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares a lumbar erector spinae plane block (L-ESPB), a type of nerve numbing injection, to not using any block for managing pain after hip surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having hip surgery
- Your anesthesia risk level is low to moderate (ASA I, II, or III)
- You can understand pain ratings using the standard 0-10 scale
- You are not allergic to the drugs used in the nerve block
- You do not have severe memory loss or other serious mental health issues that would affect pain reporting

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
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 trial tests two different nerve blocks—PENG and LESP—to see which one helps patients use less opioid pain medicine after hip fracture surgery. If you are older than 65 and have a hip fracture, this study might help your recovery with fewer side effects.
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 ways of delivering a pain-blocking injection (erector spinae plane block) after a single-level lower back surgery. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief after surgery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
