What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether a nerve block (lumbar erector spinae plane block) guided by ultrasound works as well as spinal anesthesia for hip and upper thigh surgery. Sixty-six adults received either the nerve block or spinal anesthesia, and researchers measured how long it took before they needed pain medicine after surgery. The goal is to find a safer option that reduces opioid use and side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
local anesthetic (bupivacaine and lidocaine)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer alternative to spinal anesthesia for hip surgery, reducing opioid use and side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The block may not provide adequate anesthesia for everyone.
