What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study compares two types of pain blocks for people having hip replacement surgery. One group gets a psoas sheath block, the other a standard fascia iliaca block. Researchers will measure pain, opioid use, and recovery quality in 130 adults. The goal is to see which block offers better pain relief and faster recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
psoas sheath block (local anesthetic injection)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide better pain control and faster recovery after hip replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial comparing two similar procedures, so the difference may be small or not clinically meaningful. Results may not apply to all patients.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 130 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants aged \>18 * Patients scheduled to undergo elective unilateral total hip replacement (THR) surgery. * Patients who agree to receive regional anaesthetic blocks as part of their post-operative pain management. * Physical Status: ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification I-III. * Patients who are willing and able to provide informed consent, demonstrating an understanding of the trial's purpose, methods, and potential risks. * Patients who are willing to comply with assessments post-surgery Exclusion Criteria: * Allergy to Study Medications * History of chronic opioid use (\>50mg of oral morphine equivalents per day. * Any neurological condition affecting the lower extremities (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy) that could interfere with pain assessment or recovery evaluation. * Infection at Injection Site * Coagulopathy or Anticoagulant Use: Patients with coagulopathy (INR \>1.5) or who are on anticoagulant therapy that cannot be safely discontinued for the block procedure. * Severe Respiratory or Cardiovascular Disease: Any severe respiratory or cardiovascular disease (e.g., severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure) that may increase perioperative risk and complicate recovery. * Cognitive impairment or conditions (e.g., dementia with MMSE \<24) that would prevent reliable pain reporting or compliance with post-operative assessments
