Nerve block plus numbing medicine for hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for hip replacement surgery because of a broken hip (femoral fracture), using a front approach.
- You are 18 years or older.
- This is your first major surgery on this hip (no prior hip replacement or major operation on the same hip).
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (local anesthetics) or other drugs used in the study.
- You do not have an infection where the injection would be given.

This study tests a special numbing medicine injection (called a pericapsular nerve group block) to see how well it controls pain during and after hip fracture surgery. It might help people have less pain and recover more comfortably.
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 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 study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during hip surgery to see which one controls pain better after surgery. Both methods are standard care options, and this trial helps doctors understand which works best for hip patients.
This trial tests whether combining three different nerve-blocking injections around the hip can reduce pain after hip surgery better than standard pain management. Nerve blocks numb specific areas so you feel less pain during and after surgery.
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.
