New nerve block may cut opioid use after hip surgery
NCT ID NCT04555291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a specific nerve block (called Quadratus Lumborum Block type 3) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after total hip replacement surgery. Sixty adults having hip replacement were randomly given either the nerve block with a numbing medicine or a placebo (salt water). The main goal was to see if the nerve block lowered opioid painkiller use in the first 24 hours after surgery.
