Pain Relief After Hip Replacement: Two Numbing Medicines Compared
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two common numbing medicines used during hip replacement surgery to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery. You'll receive spinal anesthesia (numbing injected near your spine) with either ropivacaine or bupivacaine, and researchers will track how long the pain relief lasts.

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.
This trial compares three types of nerve blocks to find which provides the best pain relief after a hip replacement. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip surgery. One block targets the capsule around the hip joint, while the other adds blocks for nearby nerves. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage pain.
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 two ways to give pain medicine around the hip joint during surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients experience less pain after hip replacement.
