Summary

This study looks at whether adding a continuous intercostal nerve block (CINB) to standard pain medicines helps people with multiple broken ribs. About 180 adults with at least two rib fractures will be randomly assigned to get either the nerve block plus usual care or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if the nerve block shortens hospital stays and lowers pain scores.
