Pain block after hip fracture surgery: continuous vs. periodic injection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of delivering pain medication after hip fracture surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a steady continuous infusion or periodic small doses through a nerve block, to see which method works better for pain control.

This trial compares three different pain relief approaches during and after hip fracture surgery done with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find which method best controls pain with the fewest side effects.
This trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
This trial compares two different nerve-block techniques (pain-relief injections) to see which one works better for patients having surgery to repair a broken hip. Both methods numb the area around the hip so you feel less pain during and 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 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 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.
