Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (fascia iliaca compartment block) combined with a painkiller (tramadol) provides better pain relief for hip fracture patients than either alone. It aims to improve comfort and recovery.

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 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 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 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 combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
