Nerve block study for hip replacement pain relief
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.

This study compares two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after a total hip replacement. The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
This early-stage study tests whether a specific nerve block to numb the lower back area can make total hip replacement surgery more comfortable. It looks at patients who are having planned (elective) hip replacement and whether the nerve block is safe and works well.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after total hip replacement. One block uses a standard numbing medicine, and the other adds a medication (dexmedetomidine) that may extend the pain relief. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing pain 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 study compares two ways of numbing the hip area to manage pain after a second hip replacement. Both methods use local anesthetics (pain-relieving injections) but target different nerves, and the aim is to see which provides better pain relief, reduces the need for morphine, and helps you recover more comfortably.
