Two nerve block methods for hip replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two numbing techniques for the lower back (lumbar region) to see which provides better pain control after a total hip replacement. If you qualify, you would receive one of these nerve blocks along with standard anesthesia.

This early-stage study tests whether a specific nerve block to numb the lower back area can make total hip replacement surgery more comfortable. It looks at patients who are having planned (elective) hip replacement and whether the nerve block is safe and works well.
This study tests whether a nerve block injection in the back (called an erector spinae plane block) can provide better pain relief after a first-time hip replacement. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (PENG+LFCN block vs QIPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after total hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement and are healthy enough for spinal anesthesia, you may qualify.
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 compares two nerve-blocking techniques to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. Both methods use numbing medication around specific areas near your hip to help you feel more comfortable after the operation.
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.
