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 study compares two types of anaesthesia (spinal vs. general) for hip and knee replacement surgery. It aims to see which one provides better pain control and recovery. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to participate.
This study looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
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 compares two anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
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.
