New study aims to take the pain out of spinal positioning for broken hips

NCT ID NCT06568770

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block and pericapsular nerve group block—to see which one better reduces pain when positioning patients for spinal anesthesia during femur fracture surgery. Seventy adults with a broken femur will be randomly assigned to receive one of the blocks before their spinal injection. The goal is to find which block makes positioning easier and provides longer pain relief after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nerve block (local anesthetic injection)

What this could lead to

If one block proves better, it could become the standard for reducing pain during spinal anesthesia positioning in femur fracture patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (70 participants) comparing two techniques, so results may not apply broadly. Both blocks carry risks like bleeding or nerve damage.
