Nerve blocks may cut opioid use after hip fracture surgery

NCT ID NCT07676734

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether adding a specific nerve block (Quadro-Iliac Plane Block or Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block) to standard pain management reduces the need for opioids after hip fracture surgery. About 90 adults having hip fracture surgery under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The main goal is to see how much tramadol (a painkiller) they need in the first 24 hours after surgery. The study also looks at pain levels, recovery quality, and side effects like nausea.

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 (Quadro-Iliac Plane Block or Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block)

What this could lead to

If one block works better, it could mean less pain and fewer opioids after hip fracture surgery, leading to faster recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-center trial. The blocks may not provide significant extra benefit over standard care, and nerve blocks carry rare risks like infection or bleeding.
