Nerve blocks for easier positioning before hip surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one helps you get into position more easily for spinal anesthesia before hip surgery. The goal is to make the procedure less painful and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having hip surgery, like a hip fracture repair or hip replacement, within the next 2 weeks.
- You are in good health (ASA class I or II) – meaning you have no major medical problems or only mild ones.
- You are not currently taking strong pain medicines (like morphine) every day.
- You do not have heart disease or any memory or thinking problems.

This trial compares two nerve-block techniques to see which one gives better pain control during and after total hip replacement surgery. It may help you feel more comfortable and possibly reduce the need for pain medicine.
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
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 compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain control in older adults undergoing total hip replacement. A nerve block is a shot of anesthetic near a nerve to numb a specific area, and the goal is to help you feel less pain after surgery.
This study tests a combination of nerve blocks to reduce pain after hip surgery. It may help you need less pain medication and recover more comfortably.
