Nerve block for pain after hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a first-time total hip replacement, using a side (lateral) approach, under general anesthesia.
- You do not have any reason you cannot receive a nerve block or take NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen).
- You are not allergic to opioids or paracetamol (acetaminophen).
- Your kidneys work well (creatinine clearance over 30 ml/min).
- Your weight is between 50 kg (110 lbs) and 100 kg (220 lbs).

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 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 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 one provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. The blocks are given during the surgery to help reduce pain after the operation.
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 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.
