New nerve block combo could reduce hip surgery pain in seniors
NCT ID NCT07449442
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining two nerve blocks (iPACK and adductor canal block) with a numbing drug called ropivacaine can reduce pain and inflammation after total hip replacement. Sixty older adults (65-100 years) having hip surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the active nerve blocks or a placebo (salt water). The main goal is to see if the blocks lower a blood marker of inflammation called the Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI).
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ropivacaine (a numbing medication)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a standard way to reduce pain and inflammation after hip replacement, helping older patients recover more comfortably.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial (60 people) testing a well-known drug in a new combination. The results may not apply to all patients, and the nerve blocks carry rare risks like infection or nerve damage.
