This study tests whether a special electromagnetic therapy, added to standard recovery exercises, can reduce pain and improve movement after hip replacement surgery. The therapy is non-invasive and may help you regain function faster.
This study tests a rehabilitation program that starts soon after hip replacement surgery for arthritis or hip developmental issues. The program uses telehealth (video calls) to help you recover strength and mobility at home.
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 compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block near the hip (PENG block) versus a small dose of morphine given through the spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which method helps patients recover better and have less pain in the first days after surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: one uses a spinal injection with morphine, and the other uses a nerve block near the hip. The nerve block may include an extra medicine called dexamethasone to see if it improves pain relief.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
