Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether giving numbing medicine through a thin tube (catheter) placed in the spine provides better pain relief after hip surgery than a single injection. 105 patients over age 60 were randomly assigned to one of three groups: continuous spinal anesthesia, single-shot spinal anesthesia, or general anesthesia. The researchers measured pain scores, need for extra pain medicine, and blood pressure changes during and after surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bupivacaine (a numbing medicine given into the spinal fluid)
What this could lead to
If continuous spinal anesthesia works better, it could offer longer-lasting pain relief after hip surgery with fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 105 patients. Results may not apply to all surgeries or patients, and the catheter technique carries a small risk of infection or headache.
