Liposome bupivacaine for pain and confusion after hip fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposome bupivacaine) given before surgery can reduce pain and lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after hip fracture repair in older adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years or older.
- You have a hip fracture (like a broken femoral neck or between the thigh bones) and are scheduled for surgery.

- You do not have an allergy to amide-type numbing medicines (like lidocaine).
- You have not had a stroke or bleeding in the brain in the past 6 months.

This trial tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) injected near the back muscles can provide better pain relief after open upper belly surgery. It may help reduce pain and the need for other painkillers.
This study tests if a long-acting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome) combined with a standard numbing medicine works better for pain control after hip fracture surgery. It compares two different combinations to see which provides more effective pain relief.
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine placed near the surgical site can reduce pain after a specific type of brain surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This study tests whether a one-time nerve block with a longer-lasting numbing medicine can reduce pain after hip replacement surgery better than the standard approach. It may help you use fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable while you recover.
