Hip surgery pain showdown: which nerve block wins?
NCT ID NCT07153575
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks—SFIB and PENG—to see which one controls pain better after hip replacement surgery. Sixty patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks. The main goal is to measure how much morphine they need in the first 24 hours 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
- nerve block (local anesthetic injection)
- What this could lead to
- If one block proves better, it could become the preferred method for managing pain after hip replacement surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage comparison study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study is not designed to prove long-term benefits or safety.
