New study tests better pain relief before hip surgery
NCT ID NCT07613801
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to manage pain before spinal anesthesia for hip fracture surgery: a fascia iliaca block (a numbing injection near the hip) versus intravenous nalbuphine (a painkiller given through a vein). Researchers will measure pain scores and how well patients can sit for the spinal needle. The goal is to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
