Comparing two spinal anesthesia methods for hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 50 years old.
- You have a broken hip (proximal femur fracture).
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix the fracture with plates and screws.
- You agree to have spinal anesthesia and participate in the study.
- You do not have any blood clotting problems or take blood thinners that would make spinal anesthesia unsafe.

This trial compares two positions for giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery to see which one works on only one side of the body. It may help patients get better pain relief with fewer side effects.
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 anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications 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.
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 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.
