Nerve block to prevent confusion after hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (PENG block) can reduce confusion (delirium) after hip replacement surgery in older adults. It is for people 75+ scheduled for a first-time hip replacement under spinal anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial tests a numbing injection (called a PENG block) plus a sedative (dexmedetomidine) for older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to see if this combination gives better pain relief and fewer side effects.
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 trial tests three ways of doing a PENG block (a type of pain relief injection for hip surgery) with or without added medications (adjuvants) to see which works best for older adults. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for other pain medicines after surgery.
This study tests two different types of local numbing medicine (with and without extra additives) for a nerve block called PENG block in older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to find which method controls pain better and reduces the need for strong pain relievers.
