Summary
This study looks at whether adding acupuncture to usual care (painkillers and physical therapy) can reduce pain and improve strength and mobility after hip fracture surgery. About 90 adults who had hip surgery will be split into two groups: one gets standard care alone, the other gets standard care plus 8 acupuncture sessions over 4 weeks. Researchers will track pain, hip function, walking speed, and muscle strength for up to a year.
