Front block for better recovery after hip replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a special nerve block called the front block (pericapsular nerve group block) improves recovery after hip replacement surgery. You may be eligible if you are having hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and do not have certain health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for hip replacement surgery under spinal anesthesia
- You are in good general health (ASA I to III)
- You can understand and fill out a recovery questionnaire
- You do not take strong pain medications daily for more than 3 months
- You do not have bleeding disorders, nerve problems, or infection at the injection site

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to block pain after total hip replacement surgery. One is given near the hip (QIPB) and the other near the spine (SI-FICB). The goal is to see which provides better pain control 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 trial tests whether combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
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 whether a specific nerve block given during planned hip replacement surgery can reduce pain afterward. It may help you use less opioid pain medicine, but you must meet certain safety and medication criteria.
This trial compares two different nerve block techniques (PENG+LFCN block vs QIPB) to see which one provides better pain relief after total hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement and are healthy enough for spinal anesthesia, you may qualify.
