Nerve block for preventing heart damage during hip surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a nerve block (a numbing shot) can protect the heart during hip fracture surgery in older adults. If you're having hip surgery, this could help reduce the risk of heart damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You must have a hip fracture (broken hip) that is not caused by a tumor or disease.
- Your surgery must have happened more than 48 hours after your injury.
- You had general anesthesia or spinal/epidural anesthesia for your surgery.
- You had at least one troponin blood test (to check for heart damage) before or after surgery.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
