Comparing two spinal anesthesia methods for elderly hip surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia to people over 65 having hip fracture surgery. It aims to see if using ultrasound guidance works better than the traditional hand-feel method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You need hip fracture surgery with spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the back)
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (ASA I to III)
- You do not have any reason why spinal anesthesia is unsafe for you (like infection or bleeding problems)
- You have not had any previous back surgery on your lower spine

This trial compares two positions for giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery to see which one works on only one side of the body. It may help patients get better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares three ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the back) for people with obesity undergoing leg or foot surgery. It tests whether using ultrasound helps make the procedure safer or more effective than the standard method.
This trial compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection or a continuous catheter. It aims to find out which method is safer and works better for heart function and recovery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
This study compares general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
