Pain Relief Nerve Block Study for Children's Hip Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special nerve-blocking technique (PENG block) to manage pain during hip surgery in children ages 3–8. Researchers measure immune markers in the blood to understand how well this pain-relief method works and how it affects the body's healing response.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 8 years old
- Your child is scheduled for planned (elective) hip surgery on one side of the body
- Your child is in generally good health (ASA status I–III, meaning no serious medical conditions or only mild/moderate ones)
- Your child has no infection or bleeding disorders
- Your child is not currently on immune-suppressing medications or chronic steroids
- Your child is not allergic to local anesthetic numbing medications

This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for children having hip surgery. One uses a PENG block with LFCB, the other an ESP block; the goal is to see which provides better pain control.
This trial tests whether a special nerve block called PLIA can lower pain right after hip-preserving surgery (PAO) for hip dysplasia. If you are a teen or young adult having this surgery, this study could help manage your pain better.
This study compares a pain injection to epidural anesthesia for children with cerebral palsy having hip surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control during and after the procedure.
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 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 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.
