First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—pericapsular nerve block and anterior quadratus lumborum block—for reducing pain during spinal anesthesia positioning and after surgery in people with hip fractures. Researchers will enroll 64 adults aged 30-85 scheduled for hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain control and may help patients recover more comfortably.

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 (pericapsular nerve block or anterior quadratus lumborum block)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show which nerve block better reduces pain during spinal anesthesia setup and after hip fracture surgery, potentially improving patient comfort and reducing opioid use.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-center observational study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It compares two techniques but does not test a new drug or treatment.
