Comparing two types of nerve blocks for hip replacement pain
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You have a broken hip (specifically a type called intracapsular neck of femur fracture).
- You are scheduled for a partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty).
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not allergic to numbing medications and do not have an infection where the injection would be given.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners that cannot be stopped.

This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
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.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—one on each side of the hip—to see if using both together provides better pain control after hip replacement surgery. It may help people who are having their first hip replacement with spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two ways to control pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block near the hip joint or a low dose of morphine given with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find which option works better with fewer side effects.
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 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.
