Pain blocks after hip surgery: testing three approaches
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older and scheduled for hip replacement surgery.
- You are able to understand and use a pain scale from 0 to 10.
- Your general health is classified as ASA II or III (meaning you have a mild to serious health condition that is well-controlled).
- You are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 2 days after surgery.
- You are not taking high doses of opioids daily (more than 30 mg of oral morphine equivalent for over 2 weeks).
- You do not have severe kidney failure, uncontrolled diabetes, or other conditions that would make these blocks unsafe.

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 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 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.
This trial tests whether combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
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.
