Nerve blocks for pain relief after hip replacement
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares three types of nerve blocks to find which provides the best pain relief after a hip replacement. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- Your health status is rated as ASA I, II, or III (generally stable health)
- You are scheduled for a planned hip replacement on one side through a back or side incision
- You are not allergic to the medicines used in the study (ropivacaine or dexamethasone)
- You do not take strong painkillers regularly (less than 30 morphine milligram equivalents per day)
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, active infection near the injection site, severe obesity (BMI over 40), existing leg weakness or nerve problems, or memory/thinking issues that would prevent you from giving consent

This study compares different ways to manage pain during and after hip replacement surgery in older adults. Researchers will test whether a spinal injection with morphine works better than a nerve block (with or without a steroid), aiming to find the approach that gives the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a PENG block) given around the hip joint to see how well it controls pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and are in generally good health, this study may help find better ways to manage your post-surgery pain.
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 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 trial tests whether a specific nerve block given during planned hip replacement surgery can reduce pain afterward. It may help you use less opioid pain medicine, but you must meet certain safety and medication criteria.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip surgery. One block targets the capsule around the hip joint, while the other adds blocks for nearby nerves. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain.
