Pain management methods for hip replacement surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of managing pain during hip replacement surgery: one that reduces the use of strong painkillers (opioids) using a special monitor, and one that avoids them altogether. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a total hip replacement (hip arthroplasty) under general anesthesia.
- You must be in good enough health to be classified as ASA 1 to 3 (a standard rating of surgical risk).
- You cannot regularly use strong prescription painkillers (opioids).
- You cannot have a permanent irregular heartbeat or a permanent pacemaker.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two medications added to a numbing injection (nerve block) given before hip replacement surgery to see which one controls pain better after the operation. The goal is to find an approach that reduces pain and helps you recover more comfortably.
This study tests a medicine called dexmedetomidine to see how well it relieves pain during hip replacement surgery done with spinal anesthesia. It may help improve pain control during and after the procedure.
This study tests a combination of non-opioid pain medicines to reduce the need for opioids after hip replacement surgery. It aims to help patients manage pain with fewer risks of addiction and side effects.
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 trial compares two nerve-blocking techniques to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. Both methods use numbing medication around specific areas near your hip to help you feel more comfortable after the operation.
This trial tests different doses of morphine given during spinal anesthesia to find the safest and most effective way to control pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a total hip replacement, you may be able to join.
