Nerve block for hip fracture pain in older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a numbing injection (nerve block) to see if it improves pain relief and recovery after hip fracture surgery in older adults. Participating may help manage pain better during and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have a broken hip (hip fracture) confirmed by a scan (X-ray, CT, or MRI).
- You are planning to have surgery for the broken hip under general anesthesia (you will be asleep).
- You are in otherwise stable health (classified as ASA I-III by the anesthesiologist).
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines like ropivacaine or bupivacaine.
- You do not have severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems, or conditions like depression, Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's disease.

This study tests a long-acting numbing injection around the hip to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery, possibly reducing the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether giving numbing injections around the hip before surgery can improve pain control and recovery in older adults. It may help reduce pain during and after surgery and lessen the need for stronger painkillers.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. If you join, you'll receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and the researchers will track your pain, comfort, and recovery.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
