Which nerve block cuts hip surgery pain best?
NCT ID NCT06842342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three types of nerve blocks—sacral erector spinae, pericapsular, and lumbar plexus—to see which provides the best pain relief after hip surgery. 75 adults received one of the blocks along with general anesthesia. Researchers measured how much morphine they needed in the first 24 hours and their pain scores. The goal is to find the most effective block to reduce pain and opioid use.
