NCT ID NCT05102760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (PENG and FIC) to see which provides better pain relief for adults with hip fractures in the emergency department. About 80 participants will receive one of the blocks and report their pain levels. The goal is to find a safer, opioid-sparing option for pain control.
