Testing extra pain relief for hip replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing drug (bupivacaine) to see if it improves pain control after hip replacement surgery. It may help you have less pain and need fewer opioids.

This study compares two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after a total hip replacement. The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after total hip replacement. One block uses a standard numbing medicine, and the other adds a medication (dexmedetomidine) that may extend the pain relief. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing pain after surgery.
This trial tests a numbing injection (called a PENG block) plus a sedative (dexmedetomidine) for older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to see if this combination gives better pain relief and fewer side effects.
This study tests two different types of local numbing medicine (with and without extra additives) for a nerve block called PENG block in older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to find which method controls pain better and reduces the need for strong pain relievers.
This trial tests three ways of doing a PENG block (a type of pain relief injection for hip surgery) with or without added medications (adjuvants) to see which works best for older adults. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for other pain medicines after surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to your anesthesia during hip replacement surgery helps reduce stress on the body and improves your recovery. If you are having a hip replacement and are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
