Summary
This study looks at whether adding dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) in a nerve block can improve pain relief after hip replacement surgery. About 120 adults having hip surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard nerve block or the one with the added medicine. The goal is to see if the combination delays the need for extra painkillers and reduces overall opioid use.
