New study tests better pain relief before hip surgery

This study compares two ways to manage pain before spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery: a fascia iliaca block (a numbing injection near the hip) versus intravenous nalbuphine (a painkiller given through a vein). Researchers will measure pain scores and how well patients can sit for the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
