Supra-inguinal fascia iliaca nerve block for pain after hip replacement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults scheduled for primary total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia are randomized to receive either an ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block with ropivacaine or a placebo injection in addition to the standard surgical and anesthetic protocol. Pain scores, opioid consumption, and recovery milestones are recorded after surgery to compare groups. Rescue analgesia is available per protocol and perioperative care follows enhanced recovery principles. The trial focuses on whether adding this regional block improves early postoperative pain control and functional recovery.
