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 a special nerve block (PENG block) combined with a numbing medicine injection around the hip joint to provide better pain relief after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block (PENG block) versus injecting anesthetic near the hip. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
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 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 study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during hip surgery to see which one controls pain better after surgery. Both methods are standard care options, and this trial helps doctors understand which works best for hip patients.
