Could a simple hip injection prevent Post-Surgery confusion in seniors?
NCT ID NCT07449468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a nerve block (PENG block) to standard spinal anesthesia can reduce confusion after hip replacement in people aged 75 and older. About 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or a placebo injection. The main goal is to see if the block lowers the rate of delirium within three days after surgery.

Active substance
ropivacaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple way to lower the risk of confusion after hip surgery in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial. The nerve block may not reduce delirium, and there are always risks with any injection near nerves.
