Numbing injections before hip fracture surgery in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving numbing injections around the hip before surgery can improve pain control and recovery in older adults. It may help reduce pain during and after surgery and lessen the need for stronger painkillers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have a broken hip from a fall or similar low-impact injury.
- You are scheduled to have surgery for your hip fracture.
- You are not planning to have spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) due to medical reasons.
- You do not have severe kidney problems or dementia.
- You are not allergic to the medicines used in the trial, including dexamethasone, pain relievers, or anti-inflammatory drugs.

This study tests a numbing injection (nerve block) to see if it improves pain relief and recovery after hip fracture surgery in older adults. Participating may help manage pain better during and after the operation.
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 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.
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block (medicine to numb the leg) before surgery helps older adults recover better from a broken leg bone. If you are 50 or older and need surgery for a specific type of leg fracture, you may be eligible.
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 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.
