NCT ID NCT07667218

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—quadro-iliac plane block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block—for pain after total hip replacement. Sixty adults scheduled for hip surgery will receive one of the blocks along with spinal anesthesia. Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and how quickly patients can walk again.

What this could lead to
