NCT ID NCT06321718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different nerve block techniques to control pain and help patients regain muscle strength after hip fracture surgery. 96 adults with a hip fracture received either a PENG block plus lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block or a supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block. Researchers measured how quickly patients could move their leg again and their pain levels.
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 procedure (PENG + LFCN block or S-FICB)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point to a better nerve block method for hip surgery that reduces pain and speeds up muscle recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with 96 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit over standard care may be modest.
