Ultrasound-guided nerve block for hip-fracture pain in the ER
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an emergency doctor can safely and effectively place a pain-relieving nerve block in the thigh using ultrasound for people with hip fractures. It may help reduce pain while you are in the emergency department.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 20 years old and have a hip fracture
- You are expected to stay in the emergency department for at least 2 hours
- Your blood pressure and pulse are stable (not shock/unstable)
- You did not have major other injuries besides the hip fracture
- You have not already received pain medicine before arriving to the emergency department

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (one near the hip bone, one in the thigh) to see which provides better pain relief for people with a hip fracture. If you qualify, you would receive one of these blocks as part of your standard care.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
This trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
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.
This study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after hip fracture surgery: a new type of injection near the hip joint (cryoablation of the PENG nerve group) versus a standard numbing catheter placed in the groin area (fascia iliaca catheter). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
