Nerve Block vs. Wound Injection for Hip Replacement Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two pain-relief methods after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block (numbing the hip area) versus a numbing injection into the wound. The goal is to see which provides better pain control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) total hip replacement.
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the lower back).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or abnormal blood clotting.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines).

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 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.
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 trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which better controls pain after hip replacement surgery and may reduce the need for pain medications. It helps determine the most effective pain management approach for recovery.
This trial studies whether one type of numbing injection (a PENG block) works better than another method (local anesthetic injected into the surgical area) to control pain during and after total hip replacement. It may help choose the best pain plan for people having a specific surgical approach.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks (SFIB and PENG) to find which provides better anesthesia during total hip replacement. It may help you understand which pain control approach could work best for your surgery.
