Comparing two nerve blocks for hip fracture pain before spinal anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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 study compares two different nerve block methods to see which provides better pain relief for people having a partial hip replacement. It will help doctors choose the best way to manage pain after surgery.
This trial tests if a special nerve block (PENG block) can reduce pain before hip fracture surgery. It may help patients have less pain and need fewer painkillers.
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 tests different ways to manage pain during hip surgery, comparing a femoral nerve block, a newer nerve block called PENG, and a pain medicine given before surgery. It aims to see which method gives the best pain relief.
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 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.
