New study seeks best pain relief for hip replacement patients
NCT ID NCT07667231
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after total hip replacement. Sixty adults having hip replacement will receive either a quadro-iliac plane block or a PENG block combined with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block. Researchers will measure pain scores, opioid use, and how quickly patients can walk after surgery to see which method works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If one block proves better, it could lead to less pain and faster recovery after hip replacement surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both blocks are already used, so no major breakthrough is expected.
