Nerve block study for fracture pain in the ER
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at using a nerve block to manage pain from broken bones in the emergency room. It may help if you have a fracture that causes significant pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your pain is greater than 3 on a 0 to 10 scale.

- You are able to give written permission to be in the study.
- You are not on a breathing tube, have dementia, or are confused.
- You are not pregnant, allergic to numbing medicine, or unable to describe your pain.

This trial looks at using ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (injecting numbing medicine near nerves) to control pain in people with severe injuries affecting multiple body areas. It aims to see how well these blocks work and if they help with recovery.
This study tests a special nerve block (PENG block) combined with a numbing medicine injection around the hip joint to provide better pain relief after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
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.
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.
