Nerve block and local anesthetic for hip replacement surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for hip replacement surgery because of a broken hip.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have an allergy to local anesthetics or other study medications.
- You do not have an infection at the injection site.
- You have not had prior major surgery on the same hip or have an existing hip prosthesis.
- You are in generally good health (not severely ill).

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 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 a combination of nerve blocks to reduce pain after hip surgery. It may help you need less pain medication and recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two types of pain-numbing injections (nerve blocks) for hip surgery to see which provides better pain control. If you join, you will receive one of the two injections before your surgery, and the researchers will track your pain and recovery.
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.
