Extra nerve block may cut opioid use after hip surgery
NCT ID NCT06839742
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding a deep gluteal nerve block to a standard hip block can improve pain relief and reduce the need for strong painkillers after hip fracture surgery. 68 adults having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia took part. Researchers measured pain scores and how much morphine patients used in the first 24 hours after surgery.
