Summary

This study compares three types of nerve blocks (PENG, S-FICB, and L-ESPB) to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement while preserving leg strength for early walking. Researchers will enroll 93 adults aged 65 and older undergoing hip surgery. The goal is to reduce opioid use and improve recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: nerve block (local anesthetic ropivacaine)
What this could lead to: If successful, this study could identify the best nerve block for hip replacement pain, reducing opioid use and speeding up recovery in older adults.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase trial (93 participants) comparing existing techniques, so results may not apply to all patients. The blocks may not differ significantly in effectiveness.
