Comparing two pain relief methods for hip surgery

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 fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) and intrathecal nalbuphine for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing hip surgery under spinal anesthesia. Both methods are known for their efficacy in pain control, and this trial aims to determine which approach provides better analgesic outcomes. Participants will receive either the FICB or intrathecal nalbuphine, alongside spinal anesthesia, to evaluate their pain relief effectiveness post-surgery.
