Comparing two types of nerve blocks for pain relief in femur fracture 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 aims to compare the effectiveness of two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, the Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (S-FICB) and the Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG), in providing pain relief for patients undergoing surgery for femur fractures. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, and their pain levels will be assessed before and after the procedure using a numeric pain rating scale. The study will utilize a double-blind design to ensure unbiased results, with both the observer and patients unaware of the group assignments. The goal is to determine which nerve block technique offers superior analgesic efficacy during and after surgery.
