New nerve block eases hip fracture pain before surgery
NCT ID NCT07194356
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special nerve block called PENG can reduce pain when positioning patients with hip fractures for spinal anesthesia. Sixty adults having hip fracture surgery were randomly assigned to receive the block or not. The main goal was to see if the block made positioning less painful and improved pain control after surgery.
