Comparing two types of anesthesia for hip replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during hip replacement surgery: one that uses less opioid pain medicine by using a special monitor (CARDEAN® Index) and one that uses no opioids at all. It aims to find which approach gives better pain control and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) under general anesthesia.
- Your health status is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (generally healthy or with mild to serious illness that is well controlled).
- You do not have a permanent irregular heartbeat or a pacemaker.
- Your resting heart rate is at least 50 beats per minute.
- You are not a long-term daily user of strong opioid painkillers.

This study compares two types of anesthesia for people having a hip replacement through the front (anterior) approach. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control and recovery after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general and spinal) for people having a total hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see which approach is better for recovery and overall outcomes.
This trial tests if using fewer opioids after hip replacement surgery can still control pain well. It uses a specific type of hip replacement called anterior total hip arthroplasty and aims to help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medicines.
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 general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
This trial compares general anesthesia (being fully asleep) with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) for outpatient knee or hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer side effects so you can go home the same day.
