Placebo pills for hip surgery pain in teens and young adults
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking placebo pills (pills with no active drug) can help manage pain after a specific hip surgery, called Bernese Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO), in people with a hip condition called developmental dysplasia. The goal is to see if using placebos can reduce the need for pain medications and help with recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a new medicine, CBP-0276, can help reduce the amount of opioids needed for pain after major bone surgery. It may help manage pain with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if using fewer opioids after hip replacement surgery can still control pain well. It uses a specific type of hip replacement called anterior total hip arthroplasty and aims to help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medicines.
This study looks at how much pain medicine (opioids) people actually need after hip arthroscopy and what factors may affect it. It may help improve safer, more personalized pain control after surgery.
This trial tests if taking methadone pills after arthroscopic knee or hip surgery can help manage pain effectively. It's for people who are otherwise healthy and ready for surgery.
This trial tests an investigational tablet called HL-1186 for controlling pain after orthopedic surgery. It explores whether the drug can safely reduce moderate to severe pain when given after the procedure.
