New hip block cuts Post-Surgery painkiller use
NCT ID NCT07534137
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special nerve block called PENG can help people who have partial hip replacement surgery feel less pain and need fewer painkillers. 48 adults having this surgery were split into two groups: one got the nerve block plus usual care, the other got usual care alone. Researchers measured how much tramadol (a strong painkiller) each group needed in the first 24 hours after surgery, along with their pain scores and recovery. The goal is to find better ways to manage pain after hip surgery.
