First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study compared two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—pericapsular nerve group block and quadratus lumborum block—for pain relief when positioning hip fracture patients for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults were randomly assigned to one block. Researchers measured pain scores, need for extra pain medicine, and ease of positioning. The goal is to find which block works better for this specific step.
