Freezing nerves may beat standard pain pump for hip fracture recovery
NCT ID NCT06278987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if freezing a specific nerve group (cryoablation of the PENG) provides better pain control 30 days after hip fracture surgery compared to the usual method (a fascia iliaca catheter). About 150 adults aged 18-85 having hip fracture repair will be enrolled. The main goal is to see which approach leads to less pain and less opioid use after surgery.
