Comparing two pain blocks for hip fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of pain blocks given before hip fracture surgery to see which one reduces the need for strong painkillers after the operation. It may help you have less pain and fewer side effects from pain medication.
