Comparing pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery
Does the Addition of a Deep Posterior Gluteal Compartment Block to Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block Improve Analgesia in Hip Fracture Surgery? A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is testing if adding a specific pain relief method during hip fracture surgery helps patients feel less pain and recover faster compared to using just one method.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of adding a Deep Posterior Gluteal Compartment Block to a Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The researchers will compare pain levels, analgesic consumption, and positioning pain during the perioperative period between those receiving both blocks and those receiving only the Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block. The goal is to determine if the additional block can enhance pain management and facilitate early mobilization post-surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-90 who are undergoing hip surgery under spinal anesthesia and have an ASA classification of I, II, or III.
Not a fit: Patients with conditions that prevent regional anesthesia, cognitive dysfunction, or those with severe comorbidities may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved pain management and reduced reliance on analgesics for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While this specific combination of blocks has not been widely tested, similar approaches in regional anesthesia have shown promising results in improving pain management.
