Nerve block versus spinal morphine for hip surgery pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip surgery: a nerve block (a numbing injection near the hip) versus a spinal injection of morphine. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and fewer side effects.

This trial compares two types of pain relief after a hip replacement: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the hip) versus a small dose of morphine given through a spinal needle. It aims to find out which option works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to control pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block near the hip joint or a low dose of morphine given with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find which option works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during hip surgery: a nerve block in the groin area versus a spinal medication. The goal is to find which approach offers better pain control with fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It aims to find which method reduces pain and improves recovery.
This trial tests whether combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after 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.
