Nerve blocks for older adults having hip replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control in older adults undergoing total hip replacement. A nerve block is a shot of anesthetic near a nerve to numb a specific area, and the goal is to help you feel less pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 75 years of age or older.

- You do not have an allergy to numbing medicines (local anesthetics).
- You do not have an infection where the nerve block injection would be given.

This trial compares two nerve-block techniques to see which one gives better pain control during and after total hip replacement surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable and possibly reduce the need for pain medicine.
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
This study compares two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one helps you get into position more easily for spinal anesthesia before hip surgery. The goal is to make the procedure less painful and more comfortable.
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 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 study compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after hip replacement surgery in older adults. The goal is to find which one provides better pain relief with fewer side effects.
