Can oxytocin help you recover faster after hip replacement?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a medicine called oxytocin, given through a vein during surgery, can help people recover more quickly after a total hip replacement. It is for adults in generally good health who are scheduled for a first-time hip replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a single dose of methadone given during hip replacement surgery can better control pain and reduce the need for other opioid painkillers afterward. It may help you recover with less pain and 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 compares two ways of managing pain during hip replacement surgery: one that reduces the use of strong painkillers (opioids) using a special monitor, and one that avoids them altogether. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether a new pain medication called TRD205 works well and is safe for people recovering from hip replacement surgery. If it works, it could offer better pain control after your operation.
This study gives men who are having a hip replacement a testosterone treatment around the time of surgery to see if it helps with recovery and overall outcomes. It aims to improve muscle strength and function after the operation.
This study tests a shorter course of blood thinner medication (rivaroxaban) after hip replacement surgery, following an enhanced recovery plan. It aims to see if a shorter treatment can safely prevent blood clots and help you recover faster.
