TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY (THA)

This study looks at whether adding foot core exercises to standard hip rehab can improve leg strength, balance, and function after total hip replacement. Fifty participants will either do routine hip exercises or those plus foot exercises for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure mu…

After knee or hip surgery, some people struggle to fully activate their muscles due to a condition called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI). This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface that provides real-time neurofeedback during visualization exercises can improve musc…

This study tests suzetrigine, a new FDA-approved non-opioid pain medication, in 210 adults undergoing total hip replacement. Participants receive either suzetrigine or a placebo for seven days, starting before surgery. The goal is to see if suzetrigine reduces the amount of opioi…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—the newer iliopsoas plane block (IPB) and the established PENG block—for controlling pain and helping recovery after total hip replacement. 118 adults will receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and neither they nor their docto…

This study tests whether listening to binaural beats or a patient's chosen music for 30 minutes after knee or hip replacement surgery can lower pain and anxiety. About 50 adults having these surgeries will take part. Researchers will measure pain and anxiety levels right after su…

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 is testing a new liner for hip replacements in 500 adults. The goal is to see if it improves how well patients can move and reduces pain. Participants will have standard follow-up visits and fill out extra questionnaires about their symptoms and function.

This study is testing whether adding a sensor-based device to standard physical therapy can improve both thinking and movement in frail older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. Thirty participants aged 65-89 will use the device for part of their rehab. The goal is to se…

This study compares two types of pain blocks for people having hip replacement surgery. One group gets a psoas sheath block, the other a standard fascia iliaca block. Researchers will measure pain, opioid use, and recovery quality in 130 adults. The goal is to see which block off…

This study tests whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to standard physical therapy helps people who have had a hip replacement overcome fear of movement and improve their recovery. One hundred participants will be split into two groups: one gets standard rehab exerci…

This study tests whether adding strength training with blood flow restriction to standard rehab helps people who had a hip replacement 4 weeks ago. 30 participants will do either regular exercise therapy or the same therapy plus the special strength training. Researchers will mea…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) block can improve pain control after total hip replacement. Sixty adults having hip surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard pain medication or standard medica…

This study tests whether a 12-week digital exercise program, with or without personal coaching, can help adults aged 65 and older become more physically active after total hip replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the digital program with coa…

This study tests whether the type of wound dressing and how often it's changed can improve healing after hip replacement surgery. Ninety patients aged 65 and older will be randomly assigned to receive either a special capillary-action dressing (VACUTEX™) or standard dressings cha…

This study follows about 100 adults who received a Tipmed hip replacement during routine care. Researchers track complications and hip function over two years to see how well the device performs in real life. The goal is to gather practical evidence on safety and effectiveness, n…

This observational study looks at hip and knee tissue from 1000 adults with osteoarthritis who are scheduled for joint replacement surgery. Researchers want to measure levels of rare metals and immune markers in the joint tissue and blood. The goal is to find imbalances that coul…
