Which nerve block wins for hip replacement pain?
NCT ID NCT06821516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—PENG block and lumbar erector spinae plane block—to see which one better controls pain after total hip replacement. Fifty-two adults undergoing hip replacement under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and patient satisfaction over 24 hours after surgery.
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 (PENG block or lumbar erector spinae plane block)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show which nerve block provides better pain relief after hip replacement, potentially reducing opioid use and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both blocks are already known to work; the study only compares them, so no major breakthrough is expected.
