Hip fracture type, nutrition and pain after surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a person's nutrition before hip surgery relates to their pain levels after surgery. It aims to help doctors improve recovery for older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if the size of a thigh muscle and a nutrition score can help predict recovery in older patients having hip fracture surgery. It might help doctors plan better care after surgery.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (regional, which numbs just the hip area, vs. general, which puts you fully asleep) to see which one helps with breathing after surgery. It is for patients over 65 having hip fracture surgery.
This trial tests three different ways to manage pain during and after hip fracture surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having surgery under spinal anesthesia.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used to reduce pain after hip fracture surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better to help patients recover with less pain.
This study tests if giving a special protein drink before surgery helps frail older adults with a broken hip recover better. It might reduce complications after surgery.
