Hip osteoarthritis

This study looks at a personalized plan to help older adults prevent falls. It includes 50 people aged 65 or older who have sarcopenia (muscle loss) and knee or hip arthritis. Researchers will test balance, strength, and range of motion to create a tailored fall prevention strate…

Researchers are testing whether EEG brain wave patterns can track how the sedative dexmedetomidine eases pain during total hip replacement surgery. Twenty patients with hip osteoarthritis receive a dexmedetomidine infusion before their spinal anesthesia. The team records brain ac…

This trial tests whether giving the sedative dexmedetomidine during hip replacement surgery can dampen the body's stress and inflammatory response to the operation. Researchers will compare two doses of the drug against a placebo in 90 adults aged 50-90 undergoing total hip arthr…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during hip replacement surgery can lower anxiety and prevent post-surgery confusion in older adults. Half of the participants will watch calming nature scenes through VR while under regional anesthesia, while the other…

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks given before hip replacement surgery to control pain afterward. One is the standard supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SI-FICB), and the other is a newer quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB). The study includes adults aged 18-…

This study compares two spinal anesthetics, ropivacaine and bupivacaine, in 176 people having hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which one allows faster return of feeling and movement while still controlling pain well enough for same-day discharge.

This study tests whether adding high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field (HI-PEMF) therapy to standard exercise can reduce pain and improve daily function in people who have had a total hip replacement. Forty adults who had hip replacement due to osteoarthritis will receive ei…

This study looks at three different ways to manage pain during and after hip replacement surgery in people aged 60 and older. All participants will get spinal anesthesia, but some will also get a nerve block around the hip joint, with or without an extra anti-inflammatory drug. T…

This study looks at whether adding a nerve block to the back of the hip to two standard front-hip blocks can improve pain relief after hip surgery. About 50 adults having hip surgery will be split into two groups to compare pain scores and the need for extra pain medicine in the …

This study looks at whether a smartphone app that teaches cognitive behavioral therapy can help young adults (ages 15-39) with hip pain feel less depressed, anxious, and stressed. Researchers will also measure pain, physical function, and opioid use. Half of the 150 participants …

This study looks at whether using a device called the Alexis wound retractor during hip replacement surgery helps wounds heal faster and reduces infections. About 202 adults with hip arthritis having a first-time hip replacement will take part. Researchers will compare healing, s…

This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-12 (HOOS-12) into Turkish and test its reliability and validity in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Participants will complete the Turkish HOOS-12 and a general health survey at…

This study tracks 30 people receiving a CATALYSTEM cementless hip implant to measure how much the stem moves (subsides) in the thigh bone over two years. Using specialized CT scans, researchers aim to see if the implant stays firmly in place, which is key for long-term success. P…
