ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a technique called the lumbar plexus block, which is used for pain relief during and after surgery for femoral neck fractures. Researchers are exploring how ultrasound can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of this method. The aim is to see if using ultrasound can help doctors provide better pain management for patients undergoing this type of surgery.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 90 years old and have a specific health status that is generally considered safe for surgery (ASA Score I-III). You should also be scheduled for an operation to fix a femoral neck fracture. However, if you have allergies to local anesthetics, certain medical conditions like bleeding disorders or mental health issues, or if your body weight is above a certain level (BMI over 30), you won't be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to receive care from a team of medical professionals and will help contribute to improving pain management techniques for future patients.
