Nerve block timing and confusion after hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at when a nerve block (a medicine that numbs the leg) is given before hip fracture surgery. It checks if the timing affects confusion (delirium) after surgery, helping older adults recover more clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are having surgery for a hip fracture and will get a nerve block for pain.
- You are able to give your own consent and speak English.
- You do not have severe confusion or advanced dementia.
- A caregiver who can answer questions about you (in English) is also needed.

This study compares two anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
This study looks at whether adding a nerve block (a numbing injection near the hip) to standard anesthesia can help protect the heart in older adults having hip fracture surgery. It may reduce the risk of heart damage after surgery.
This trial tests whether a nerve block (PENG block) can reduce confusion (delirium) after hip replacement surgery in older adults. It is for people 75+ scheduled for a first-time hip replacement under spinal anesthesia.
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 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 looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
