OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE HIP

This study tests whether injecting a patient's own stem cells (from fat) and platelet-rich plasma into the hip joint can reduce pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis. The trial starts with 50 people and plans to expand to 4,000. Researchers will measure pain, quality of life,…

This study tests whether a specific nerve block, called FRONT, can help people recover better after total hip replacement surgery. 80 adults having hip replacement will be randomly assigned to receive either the FRONT block or standard pain medication. The main goal is to see if …

This study is testing whether giving extra doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) after hip or knee replacement surgery can reduce bleeding, pain, and help people move around sooner. TXA is a drug already used during surgery to prevent blood loss. The trial will compare the standard sing…

This study tests whether starting physical therapy early after hip replacement, combined with electrical muscle stimulation and remote video coaching, helps people walk better and regain strength faster. About 52 adults aged 50-75 will be split into two groups: one gets the extra…

This study tests whether a pain management plan that limits opioids can help adults who need hip replacement surgery use fewer opioids while still controlling pain well. About 120 people having anterior total hip replacement will be randomly assigned to either the opioid-sparing …
