Compares anesthesia types for recovery after hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using regional anesthesia or general anesthesia affects outcomes after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It may help doctors choose the safest anesthesia option for recovery and prognosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hip fracture
- You are planning or scheduled for hip fracture surgery
- You are age 60 or older
- Your planned anesthesia is either regional anesthesia or general anesthesia
- You are not choosing non-surgical (conservative) treatment

This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (regional, which numbs just the hip area, vs. general, which puts you fully asleep) to see which one helps with breathing after surgery. It is for patients over 65 having hip fracture surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
This study is comparing different types of anesthesia (general vs. spinal/epidural) during hip fracture surgery to see which one is safer and reduces the risk of a rare but serious reaction called bone cement implantation syndrome. It may help you if you are scheduled for a cemented partial hip replacement.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (low-flow vs. normal-flow) during hip fracture surgery in older adults. The goal is to see which method may reduce the risk of confusion or delirium after surgery.
This study compares general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
