ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods of providing pain relief for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), which is surgery to replace a damaged hip joint. The researchers want to compare the effectiveness of the anterior iliopsoas muscle space block and the supra-iliac anterior quadratus lumborum block in helping manage pain after surgery. This is important because many patients experience significant pain after hip surgery, which can slow down their recovery and ability to move around.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 50 and 80 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or lower, and be scheduled for elective hip surgery under general anesthesia. The trial is currently looking for participants, and if you join, you can expect to receive one of the pain relief methods being studied before your surgery. It's essential to know that certain medical conditions and allergies may prevent you from participating, so talk to your doctor if you're interested. This trial aims to improve pain management and enhance recovery for hip surgery patients, helping them get back to their daily activities more quickly.
