Comparing two nerve blocks for pain control in hip fracture surgeries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
