IV versus oral acetaminophen after hip-fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares giving acetaminophen (Tylenol) through a vein versus by mouth after hip-fracture surgery. It may help find which method works better for pain control and recovery in adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 60 or older.
- Before your fracture, you could walk without another person physically helping you.
- Your hip-fracture surgery is planned during a hospital stay (as an inpatient).
- Your hip fracture is not caused by cancer (not a “neoplastic” hip fracture).
- You can safely take medicines by mouth if assigned (no serious swallowing problems/dysphagia) and you can communicate in English.
- You do not have very severe liver or kidney problems, and you are not allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol).

This trial tests three different ways to manage pain during and after hip fracture surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having surgery under spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two ways of giving general anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: one through an IV line and one through breathing in a gas. It aims to see which method helps patients recover better after surgery.
This study looks at how a person's nutrition before hip surgery relates to their pain levels after surgery. It aims to help doctors improve recovery for older adults.
This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This trial tests if giving acetaminophen (Tylenol) through a vein after heart surgery can help patients recover better. You may be a good fit if you are having planned heart surgery that is not an emergency.
This trial compares two ways to reduce pain after a hip fracture: a nerve block injection around the hip area and a common pain medication called tramadol. The goal is to find a better method for managing pain in hip fracture patients.
