Comparing two numbing injections for hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix a broken hip (upper leg bone).
- Your surgery will be done with numbing medicine in your lower back (spinal anesthesia), not general anesthesia.
- You are in good enough health that your doctor rates you as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (mild to moderate health issues).
- You can understand and use a simple 0-10 pain scale.
- You do not have bleeding problems, infection at the injection site, or allergy to the numbing medicines used.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease, long-term nerve damage, or take strong painkillers daily.

This study compares two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for people having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain control, which may help you recover more comfortably.
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 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 study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
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 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.
