Summary

This study compares three versions of a nerve block (PENG block) for pain relief in 120 adults aged 65 and older having hip surgery. One group gets the standard block, while two others get an added medication (dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine) to see if pain relief lasts longer. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
