Extra nerve block may ease pain before hip surgery
NCT ID NCT07687290
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether adding a second nerve block to the standard one helps people with hip fractures feel less pain while being positioned for spinal anesthesia before surgery. The study compares the usual pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block alone versus the PENG block combined with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block. Researchers will measure how quickly patients can be positioned and their pain scores. The goal is to find a better way to keep patients comfortable during this critical step.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bupivacaine and lidocaine (local anesthetics)
- What this could lead to
- If adding the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block works better, it could make positioning for spinal anesthesia less painful and more comfortable for hip fracture patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Nerve blocks carry risks like allergic reaction, bleeding, or infection.
