Comparing anaesthesia types for hip and knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anaesthesia (spinal vs. general) for hip and knee replacement surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain control and recovery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to participate.

This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
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 looks at whether using regional anesthesia or general anesthesia affects outcomes after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It may help doctors choose the safest anesthesia option for recovery and prognosis.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (one side vs both sides) during hip replacement surgery to see how they affect blood pressure. It uses a special monitor to track blood pressure continuously, which may help improve safety for older patients.
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 compares the effects of two types of anaesthesia—one that puts you fully asleep (general anaesthesia) versus one that numbs the lower half of your body while you stay awake (spinal anaesthesia)—for people having knee or hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer problems, so you can go home the same day.
