Nerve block vs spinal morphine for hip replacement pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip surgery: a nerve block (a numbing injection near the hip) versus a spinal injection of morphine. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.
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.
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 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.
This trial compares two types of pain relief after a hip replacement: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the hip) versus a small dose of morphine given through a spinal needle. It aims to find out which option works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares different ways to manage pain during and after hip replacement surgery in older adults. Researchers will test whether a spinal injection with morphine works better than a nerve block (with or without a steroid), aiming to find the approach that gives the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
