Comparing two nerve blocks for pain control in hip fracture surgeries
Comparison Between Iliopsoas Nerve Block and Femoral Nerve Block in Hip Fracture Surgeries
This study is testing which pain relief method, iliopsoas nerve block or femoral nerve block, works better for people having surgery for hip fractures to help them feel more comfortable and move around sooner.

What this trial studies
This study compares the effectiveness of iliopsoas nerve block (IPB) versus femoral nerve block (FNB) in managing pain, enhancing patient satisfaction, and promoting early ambulation in patients undergoing hip fracture surgeries. Hip fractures are common injuries that require surgical intervention, and effective pain management is crucial for recovery. The study will evaluate the outcomes of both nerve block techniques to determine which provides better analgesia while preserving motor function. Participants will be monitored for pain levels and mobility post-surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 scheduled for elective surgical correction of hip fractures with ASA physical status I or II.
Not a fit: Patients with coagulopathy, drug allergies to study medications, or those unable to cooperate may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing hip fracture surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with nerve blocks for pain management in orthopedic surgeries, suggesting this approach may be effective.
