Nerve block before hip fracture surgery in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nerve block given before surgery can help older adults with hip fractures have better pain control and recovery. It compares standard care with an extra injection near the hip to numb the area before the operation.

This study tests a nerve block (a numbing injection near the hip) to see if it improves pain control for older adults having hip fracture surgery. It compares the nerve block to usual pain care. You may be eligible if you are 65 or older, are having hip surgery, and are in generally good health.
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during hip fracture repair. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a broken hip, and are scheduled for surgery with spinal anesthesia.
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 study compares two types of nerve blocks given before spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery to see which provides better pain relief. It may help patients experience less pain during the procedure.
This study tests a special nerve block (PENG block) combined with a numbing medicine injection around the hip joint to provide better pain relief after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
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.
