Comparing two pain blocks after hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests two different nerve blocks—PENG and LESP—to see which one helps patients use less opioid pain medicine after hip fracture surgery. If you are older than 65 and have a hip fracture, this study might help your recovery with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You have a hip fracture that needs surgery
- You are willing to receive a regional (nerve block) anesthesia
- You do not have a bleeding disorder
- You have no wound or infection in the area where the block would be given
