ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different methods of pain relief after surgery for femoral neck fractures, which are breaks in the thigh bone near the hip. The two methods being compared are called the Quadroiliac Plane Block (QIPB) and the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block. Both methods are designed to help manage pain after surgery, and patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of these blocks while they are under spinal anesthesia. Experienced anesthesiologists will perform the procedures, and participants will be asked to share their pain levels at various times after surgery.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for femoral fracture surgery. They should not have any serious medical conditions that could complicate the procedure, such as bleeding issues or certain chronic diseases. Participants can expect to be involved in monitoring their pain and how much medication they need for pain relief after surgery. The trial is currently recruiting, and informed consent is required from both the patient and their family members before participating. This study aims to find out which pain relief method is more effective, ultimately helping improve care for patients with femur fractures.
