First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares different doses of morphine given with spinal anesthesia during total hip replacement. The goal is to find a dose that provides good pain relief for up to 24 hours while minimizing side effects like breathing problems, nausea, and itching. About 120 adults undergoing hip replacement will take part, and their pain levels and side effects will be tracked for 48 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

morphine (given into the spinal fluid)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors choose the safest and most effective dose of spinal morphine for hip replacement pain, reducing serious side effects like breathing trouble.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (120 people) focused on dosing, not a new treatment. Results may not apply to all patients, and morphine still carries risks like nausea, itching, and rare breathing depression.
