HIP FRACTURE

This study tests whether giving blood transfusions quickly when hemoglobin drops can prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in patients 75 and older after hip fracture surgery. About 198 participants will be randomly assigned to either early transfusion or standard care. Researchers…

This study looks at whether a special vibrating device placed on the chest can improve breathing in older patients with a hip fracture who also have respiratory failure. 60 participants will receive the therapy for 5 days, and doctors will check their blood oxygen levels and lung…

This study is testing a fracture liaison service (FLS) combined with medication management for people with osteoporosis in a rural area. The program provides education, monitoring, and follow-up to help patients take their medications as prescribed. Researchers will enroll 200 ad…

This study tests a simple, family-led protocol called 'Delirium Zero' to prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after hip fracture surgery. About 140 patients over 65 will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the Delirium Zero protocol, which includes an o…

This study will compare three pain management methods after hip surgery in 108 adults aged 65 and older. The methods are a nerve block (PENG block), a local anesthetic injection around the joint (periarticular injection), or both combined. The goal is to see which approach reduce…

This study tests whether a single intravenous dose of iron (ferric derisomaltose) can improve mobility recovery in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will compare the iron group to a placebo group in 210 participants across three Danish hospitals. The main g…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (meta-PENG and fascia iliaca) to see which one better reduces pain during hip fracture surgery. About 80 adults having hip fracture surgery will receive one of the blocks as part of their routine care. The goal is to find which block …

This study tests whether using blood flow restriction cuffs during low-intensity stationary cycling can safely improve muscle strength and mobility in older adults recovering from a hip fracture. Sixty hospitalized patients over age 65 will be randomly assigned to either real or …

This study tests two types of nerve blocks—anterior iliopsoas space block and PENG block—to see which helps patients with hip fractures get into position for spinal anesthesia more easily and with less pain. About 90 adults undergoing hip surgery will receive one of the blocks be…

This study tests a special nursing program based on Snyder Hope Theory for people aged 60 and older who recently had hip fracture surgery. The program includes counseling, goal setting, and rehab training to improve hope, reduce pain and anxiety, and help patients regain function…

This pilot study tests whether personalized audio-recorded messages, played three times daily for the first three days after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent delirium in patients aged 60 and older. The study will enroll 30 participants and focus on whether the intervention …

This study looks at whether adding local muscle vibration to standard rehabilitation can help elderly patients (75+) recover strength and mobility after a hip fracture. The vibration is applied to the leg muscles for 30 minutes, five times a week, for four weeks. The main goal is…

This study tests two sedative drugs, remimazolam and midazolam, in adults aged 65 and older having orthopedic surgery with regional anesthesia. The goal is to see which drug provides better sedation during surgery and causes fewer problems with thinking and memory shortly after. …

This study tests a treatment called Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) for people recovering from hip fracture surgery. RIC involves inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm or leg for short periods to trigger the body's own protective responses. The trial will include 12 adul…

This study looks at whether a special mobility program, designed with input from patients and doctors, can help older adults move more after hip fracture surgery. About 25 participants will try the program during their hospital stay. Researchers will check if the program is pract…

This study looks at whether older adults who are frail before hip fracture surgery have higher levels of inflammation, measured by simple blood tests. Researchers will enroll 200 patients aged 65 and older and check their frailty using a standard questionnaire. The goal is to bet…

This study looks at whether measuring frailty—a person's overall physical weakness—can improve predictions of death within 90 days after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will follow about 200 older adults who have surgery for a broken hip. They will compare the standard risk sco…

This study looks at whether a blood test marker called Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW) can help predict complications and survival in elderly patients with hip fracture. Researchers will follow 100 patients aged 65 and older, measuring MDW and other inflammatory markers at admi…

This study looks at oxygen levels in adults over 65 after hip fracture surgery, comparing regional (spinal) anesthesia to general anesthesia. Researchers will measure oxygen saturation and track complications like sleep apnea, delirium, and hospital stay length. The study is obse…
