First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two types of nerve blocks—fascia iliaca block and femoral nerve block—to see which one works better for pain control in people having hip fracture surgery. 80 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks before spinal anesthesia. The main goal was to measure pain during positioning for the spinal shot. The results will help doctors choose the best pain relief method for hip fracture patients.
