New nerve block may ease hip surgery pain better than standard injection

NCT ID NCT06675916

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a newer nerve block called PENG block provides better pain relief than the standard intra-articular injection for people undergoing hip replacement surgery. Both methods use the anesthetic lidocaine. The study will measure how much morphine patients need during surgery and their pain levels afterward. If successful, the PENG block could help patients recover faster and leave the hospital sooner.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ultrasound-guided PENG block with lidocaine hydrochloride
What this could lead to
If the PENG block proves better, it could offer more effective pain control after hip surgery, helping patients move sooner and shorten hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both methods have known limitations, and the PENG block may not show a clear advantage.
