First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two types of pain blocks for people having hip replacement surgery. One group gets a psoas sheath block, the other a standard fascia iliaca block. Researchers will measure pain, opioid use, and recovery quality in 130 adults. The goal is to see which block offers better pain relief and faster recovery.
