Numbing technique to improve recovery after hip or knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special numbing technique that may help you move and walk earlier after your hip or knee replacement. It aims to improve your recovery and get you back on your feet faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a hip or knee replacement on one side only, due to arthritis.
- You can walk at least 10 meters (about the length of a bus) before surgery, with or without a cane or walker.
- You must be able to follow simple instructions for movement tests before and after surgery.
- You must be free of conditions that might make the nerve block or spinal anesthesia unsafe (like bleeding problems, infections, or certain drug interactions).
- You are not taking strong opioids (like morphine) daily at a high dose for more than 3 months.

This study compares three different ways to manage pain after hip surgery in older adults. One group gets a nerve block behind the hip, another gets the block plus a numbing injection around the joint, and the third gets only the numbing injection. The goal is to find the best method to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.
This trial compares three different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It may help older adults with moderate health status who are having hip surgery.
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a PENG block) given around the hip joint to see how well it controls pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and are in generally good health, this study may help find better ways to manage your post-surgery pain.
This trial tests three ways of doing a PENG block (a type of pain relief injection for hip surgery) with or without added medications (adjuvants) to see which works best for older adults. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for other pain medicines after surgery.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (PENG block) can reduce confusion (delirium) after hip replacement surgery in older adults. It is for people 75+ scheduled for a first-time hip replacement under spinal anesthesia.
This study tests two different types of local numbing medicine (with and without extra additives) for a nerve block called PENG block in older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to find which method controls pain better and reduces the need for strong pain relievers.
