Summary

This study looks at whether adding acupuncture to usual care (painkillers and physical therapy) can help people recover faster after hip fracture surgery. About 90 adults who had hip surgery will either get standard care alone or standard care plus 8 acupuncture sessions over 4 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, hip function, muscle strength, and mobility up to a year after surgery.
