Efficacy of an Epidural Versus a Fascia Iliaca Compartment Catheter After Hip Surgery

NCT01835106 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

The investigators are investigating two ways of treating pain after hip surgery. One way is though a thin tube (called a catheter), and it is placed into the back so that pain-numbing drugs can reach the nerves near the backbone. This is called an "epidural" catheter. Another way is to place the catheter close to the hip, where the surgery is done, so that the pain-numbing drugs can reach some of the nerves more locally. This is called a "fascia iliaca compartment" catheter.

The investigators do not know which way is best to treat pain, or has fewer side effects, or allows a patient to leave hospital faster. Usually, patients would receive only one type of catheter for pain relief. To do this comparison, the investigators would place both catheter types, so that patients help us tell which one works better.
