NCT ID NCT07639762
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two types of nerve blocks (supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block and lumbar erector spinae plane block) for pain relief in 84 adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The goal was to see which block works better for positioning the patient for spinal anesthesia and for controlling pain after surgery. Researchers measured pain scores and patient satisfaction to find the more effective option.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- nerve block (supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block or lumbar erector spinae plane block)
- What this could lead to
- If one block proves better, it could improve pain control and patient comfort during hip fracture surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study comparing two established techniques, so it may not lead to a major change in practice. Results may not apply to all patients.
