Comparing two hip pain blocks for older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (PENG and ESPB) to see which one works better for pain relief after a total hip replacement in people aged 65 and older. The goal is to find the safest and most effective option for this age group.

This study compares three different ways to manage pain after hip surgery in older adults. One group gets a nerve block behind the hip, another gets the block plus a numbing injection around the joint, and the third gets only the numbing injection. The goal is to find the best method to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
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.
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 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 compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block (PENG block) versus injecting anesthetic near the hip. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
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.
