Hip fracture pain study halted early – results uncertain
NCT ID NCT06296758
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two common nerve block techniques for pain relief after hip fracture surgery: femoral nerve block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca block. Only 17 adults participated before the trial was terminated early. The goal was to see which block reduces pain and the need for painkillers after surgery, but the small size limits what can be learned.

What this could lead to
