Comparing Two Nerve Blocks for Hip Replacement Pain Relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (iliopsoas block and PENG block) to see which one provides better pain relief and recovery after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement with spinal anesthesia, you may be a good candidate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are an adult (age 18 or older).
- You have a physical health level of ASA I, II, or III (basically, you are in good to fair health).

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 study tests whether adding an extra nerve block (called a PPD block) to a standard PENG nerve block provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after the operation.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. If you join, you'll receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and the researchers will track your pain, comfort, and recovery.
This study tests if a specific nerve block (the psoas sheath block) helps reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement, you may be able to join and get this extra pain relief.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
