Which nerve block wins for hip surgery pain?
NCT ID NCT07452120
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given after hip replacement surgery to control pain. Seventy adults having hip surgery will receive either a Deep Iliacus Plane Block or a Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block. Researchers will measure pain levels, painkiller use, and leg weakness over two days to see which block works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bupivacaine
- What this could lead to
- If one block works better, it could mean less pain and faster recovery after hip replacement surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 patients. Results may not apply to everyone, and both blocks carry small risks like infection or nerve issues.
