New nerve block could match standard for hip replacement pain

NCT ID NCT07683663

First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks given before hip replacement surgery to control pain afterward. One is the standard supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SI-FICB), and the other is a newer quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB). The study includes adults aged 18-75 scheduled for elective hip replacement. Researchers measure pain scores at rest six hours after surgery to see if the newer block is at least as effective as the standard one.
