Comparing a nerve block to propofol for hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to manage pain during hip fracture surgery: a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine around the hip nerves) versus a sedative called propofol. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- Your fracture happened within the last 7 days.
- You have no other major injuries (polytrauma).
- You do not have bleeding disorders or take blood thinners that interfere with clotting.
- You have no infection at the injection site.
- You can communicate your pain level clearly (no hearing impairment, dementia, or mental illness that would prevent this).

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 study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to reduce pain before you receive spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery. Participants will receive one of the two blocks, and the study will see which provides better pain relief.
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one works better for managing pain while positioning hip fracture patients before they receive spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find a more comfortable way to prepare for surgery.
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 different nerve-block techniques (pain-relief injections) to see which one works better for patients having surgery to repair a broken hip. Both methods numb the area around the hip so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
This study compares two ways of numbing the hip area to manage pain after a second hip replacement. Both methods use local anesthetics (pain-relieving injections) but target different nerves, and the aim is to see which provides better pain relief, reduces the need for morphine, and helps you recover more comfortably.
