Pain relief device study for hip surgery halted early
NCT ID NCT05017701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a device called the Bridge system could help manage pain after hip replacement surgery. Only 5 people took part before the study was stopped early, so the results are not reliable. The goal was to see if the device could reduce the need for painkillers.
